nah trust me they wont fall out but the dampers life will run out before you know it, my bruv once had a 60mm drop with those old schools lowering clamps to make it even lower. spring never fell out but it was a very bouncy ride

Yeah it will just kill the dampers, could also hit the endstops which will be very bad for them :)
