is it safe? or is it just stupid?

ok so i was thinking the exact same thing as this guy, removing my whole spring perch in the rear w/ tein basics and just sitting on the spring.. you guys can refer to this link here


https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...t=spring+perch

but nobody really clarified that if the tein shocks or stock shocks can take the beating at that ride height?... would it be ok to daily drive? what do you think? just wanna see if i can get more low for flush-status.

no flaming please... im just a college student trying to 'get by' since im paying my own car and stuff... and yes, im crazy

I can't imagine that's "healthly" for the shocks. As a college student trying to "get by," I recommend not messing with it beyond what's intended. You'll most likely shorten the life of the shocks, then you'll have to shell out more cash to replace them. You might even mess up something else. Your "flush status" will have to wait till you can afford it. I don't mean to flame. I say this cuz I was in your shoes as a college student. Don't take short cuts now. Save up and get it done right, it's worth the wait.

I vote stupid. They're designed a certain way for a reason. You may take the cheap route not, but it will end up coming out more expensive in the end if something went wrong, such as blowing your shocks after only a couple thousand miles.
