main problem you are gonna get is that you will get a shite ride, bouncy as fook, then you will wear out the dampers, and quite possibly bottom out on the dampers (where the piston rod hits the end of the damper), its bad enough on -40mm so -60mm will be worse, also you have a chance of one of the rear springs falling out when you go over a speed bump or something as the damper will extend longer then the rear springs will. might as well save for some shortened dampers.

for 60mm you ideally need shortened shox, id leave off putting the springs on till you get shox to go with them
