The ride will be much stiffer, much less body roll and the car will handle much better. Also you will feel every bump in the road. Your stock shocks will eventually blow and that will make your car bouncy bouncy.

Agreed. Stock shocks are designed to work with stock springs, when you run them with smaller springs they will fail. If the OEM shocks are old they can blow quickly.

Nino_eg6, your best bet is to either put them on a shelf and save up for some shocks designed for short springs (e.g. Skunk2) or return/sell them. Otherwise you're going to have to buy shocks anyway, but this way you can plan ahead so you get a set that (should) last you a while with those springs.
