well your car would be really slow .....but seriosuly i wouldn't go railing on it with the spring out....if you need it that way just to get around then it should be fine.

one reason would be if you have to go to get the motor tuned and its a longer drive to the tuners shop, pull the spring and it wouldnt boost
