when the coils are so closely compressed (touching) is when they become "coil-bound" (i.e. touch each other and effectively reduce the number of active coils ) and so the rate of the spring rises.

if completely coil bound then = no suspension, not so good at high speed. shock wont work, suspension wont be working, nadda. if only for a few secs. it is avoidable in many ways but u dont wanna be starting off 60% there lol

BUT if ur changing / modding the springs then i wouldnt lose sleep over it
