You'd be fine. The "automatic" style shock that originally came on our cars (oil vs. gas-filled) wouldn't stand up to well to the cut springs.

I was actually looking for some of those in Berkeley when the guy at the shop told me he'd sell me some NOS billies for cheaper than the boges, so that's why I bought them, but I was perfectly ready to put turbo gas on my car w/ the springs.
