Yes, it will kill the shocks much faster than standard springs as they will condtantly bottom out.

Get shocks the same time as springs and fit the lot, or just fit 30 mm springs, 60 mm springs will be crap on standard shocks as well as failing an MOT.

Mine isn't bouncy at all, I think they are only bouncy if the shocks and springs are mismatched.

I'm on Koni adjustable shocks, and when they are on stiff the car literally does not move at all, I've never taken it out like that though
