Springs could come out of the cups when the shock fully extends.

if yours planning on getting shocks as well at a later date and you probably will after experiencing the ride quaity, its not a big problem.

well no problem at all really, you won't really beable to drive as fast though, cause you'll be fighting to keep yuor car on the road as skits all over the show
