DangerDen's site says to compress the springs down to 10mm; if you went any further, I'd expect the gouging.

Overall I think you'll be ok.

Now that I think about it I remember one of the IHS looking like the corner was raised. Kind of like when you cut/shear sheet metal and it raises the cut edge.
