So should I worry about having Spec R MR springs on HD Bilsteins?

I wouldnt really say anything drastic is happening. The rubber coil isolators (sleeves..) are wearing through. But it drives fine. I get some noise at times that I think is just my rsb bushings. My only concern is that Smike said that there are length differences in between GSR/Bilstein HD and MR/Bilstein MR combos. Im probably not going to spend anything to fix it. As coilovers are in my future in the next year or so. Just curious if Im ruining these shocks by running what I assume is a shorter spring than they are designed for. If its just a matter of it sitting a little lower and a little noise, I really dont care.

I believe the drop difference is like 2/10ths of an inch. I couldn't see that hurting anything.
