The pads you currently have are 18mm thick. 2-bump pads are 12mm, and 1-bump are 8mm. If you completely remove them, you'll get a drop a little greater than 18mm. If you completely remove the pads, you may experience increased noise due to metal on metal contact, and possible rust formation if the spring rubs away the undercoating on the perch. Maybe just switch to the smallest pads? You could even cut those in half if you wanted. That'd probably be better than running w/o them. You'd still get a drop of >10mm

no spring pads= no biggie.
my car had one bump pads all the way round when I got it. So when I did the spring install I didn't bother putting them back.
my exhaust is so loud I wouldnt hear **** anyways.
so yeah...no ill effects here.
