It could upset the operation of the damper. It's something to do with the stroke of the unit being in it optimal range. Been doing a bit of work over at leda and there's more to the suspension lark than meets the eye.

Can't see it being an issue to be honest Dave, so long as the poundage is the same, and the spring doesnt go coilbound before the bump stops then it shouldnt make any difference.
We changed the springs on the clio for this reason, drives the same afterwards just without braking your back when landing because the bump stops are actually doing their job now.
Not that you plan on getting the saph airborne thouugh
would just be worth working out the available travel from the 6" spring compared with the shock travel.

Plus a short spring will also limit droop before the spring falls loose....not to mention overall affect on spring rate
Phone somewhere like Faulkners and chat with them
