I started a thread with this idea on the Polish Peugeot Club forum (lots of tuners), asking whether anyone has heard of this, tried it, etc. So far nobody has, but a few didn't mind calling it "rednecky". Everyone who answered thinks it would wear out your shocks twice as fast, plus danger of a spring busting from being compressed too long. I cite:
Quote:
The reason professional suspension kits (springs, shocks, etc.) are made and sold is to use them in your specific model, and not some weird homemade junk.
But then, these are guys who pay 2-3 times what something is worth just because it's got some logo on it, or it's got a blue LED.
