Default Do Koni SP3's cause a problem with wheel lifting?

Since these shocks are 20mm shorter, that translates to about an inch less extension at the wheel. Will this exacerbate the problem with lifting wheels when going around turns? I'm planning on running mild spring rates (~320f/220r) and not lowering my car much from stock (daily driver). I suppose there's also the possibility that the swaybar will lift the wheel before the shock is fully extended. Are there any other issues to consider? Thanks

Nope, because the internals are shortened as well. Smaller internal bump stops and droop limiters.
