I did this in my 1992 civic and the steering was heavier while turning in through a gate for example. At speed it was fine. My tires were at 55psi so that helped a LOT!!
No ill effects were noticed. All i can think of would be the steering column experiencing extra forces with potential long term problems with the universal joint in it or the spline on the shaft maybe loosening over time. I dunno, it's just a thought and maybe something to look at.
ollie.
ps: i gained 4 or 5 mpg by doing this!
