I'm still firm as to NOT suggesting this be done (just for the safety record and my conscience). Let's not forget the ghetto ball joint sleeve mod and the rear bolt breakage of the coil-over rear shocks. These 11mm and 5mm gaps cause stress and that stress will go somewhere, now how long it will take to fail is unanswered (Space Shuttle O-ring for example). Just like Volksworld magazine printing their disclaimer because of the reports of failed components and many crashes, I say again that this is not safe.

I certainly wouldn't want to ride in a car for even 1 "hard" or "soft" mile when it's possible to go into a corner and the spring will pop off the strut housing and cause the car to loose steering and control. I wouldn't even test drive that car for you. Let's be wise with our modifications, this is the suspension and steering we're talking about here.
