That would be a very bad thing to do. You wouldn't be sitting on the spring at all you'd prolly be riding on the bumpstops or worse the shock itself. You should never really slam your car anyway cause it's not good for the longevity of the shocks, OR you would need shorten shocks, but being that low is just plain crazy and dumb.
