Would it do any damage to the car using the springs with no dampers for a while? Or just be a shit ride?

every1 says it will be bad but my mate dropped his 60mm and it did drop, he had standard dampers, just a bit of a bouncy ride after a bit, but he never had any probs, had the car about 16months!

Hmm how much will a set of dampers cost? Or will it just be better getting a full kit and selling these springs?
