Hurt, no.. Change yes.
Changing the ride height directly affect the cars ability to transfer weight from the front to the rear.
Adjusting the front/rear weight transfer ability will have a directo effect on oversteer and understeer.
So definitely take it easy and get familiar with the car's handling after making these changes.

That's how my car ended up, with the rear gap a touch larger than the front.......
