Might cause some extra wear in the bushings and extra metal fatigue over long periods of time, but otherwise I can't think of anything.

it is bad if you do it for a long period of time(literally LONG time*)since it's putting your coilovers to the max settings for the setup.

i feel it's best to consult a doctor if you run stiff for more than 4 consecutive hours
