Default Is my Buddy right??

So I was talking to my buddy about suspension and stuff, and he told me that riding on blown shocks is dangerous and would cause me to loose control of my car. Is he correct?

if ur taking a turn to fast or something like that then there is the possibility of losing control...not to mention the springs take a beating. if ur riding on blown shocks, get new ones. ride will be so much better and so will handling.

bouncing around a long high-speed sweeping turn is definitly a dangerous thing...
