Default super-slammed for show

I have one question. My car has Tein CS coilovers. For static display purpose (e.g. car show), if I slam the coilover setting leaving the ground clearance to a minimal, will this ruin any of the suspension parts ? The car won't be driven anywhere, just posing / positioning at most. I also know that I should re-balance the suspension afterwards, right ?
Thanks.

NO......... My friends slam thier cars everytime they park (under the car is touching the ground) . I lower my car evrytime im parked too but mine isnt slammed to the ground. I do lower it as low as it can go w/ my air suspension controller. I drive it that way alot.

I have never heard anyone I know having to fix anything. Is it good for the car I dont think so. You say you know you should re-balance the car after?? I dont get it why??

Talk to folks you see at shows that have their cars slammed ask them if they have to fix anything afterwards.

Most of the time when you adjust the ride height of your vehicle the alignment of the wheels goes out of whack...

so maybe he meant an alignment not re-balance. But yes an alignment is what you would need if you change your ride height.
