Apparently it's not so good for the shocks because they bottom out at around 70-80mm so don't go over any big bumps. When they break you'll need to get some proper uprated ones.

Definitely. Otherwise you might as well take the springs and shocks out and replace them with tubes of steel, because that's what it'll feel like.

Get uprated shocks whatever you do, you don't HAVE to and can run 60mm springs but the handling will be sooo much better with matching shocks

You'd be more likely to roll it. Because the car can't compress the springs, it'll just fall over if you go too fast.
