That's what we here are looking for anyways. I personally really feel no difference in control with this setup. I also have a hard time believing there would be any additional wear.
1. Shock mounts on chassis and upright were not meant to support the weight of the car.

2. Spring loads are originally inline with vertical wheel loads. With a spring moved rearwards, there is a twisting force on the upright and suspension links.

3. With the spring removed from the center suspension link, there is a a twisting force on the upright when the wheel tries to move it vertically but the damper provides resistance on the rear of the upright.

Not saying any of this is going to cause a failure, but definitely something to think about.
