Tire rub: tired springs? Using stops a good idea yes/no?

The shop is telling me the tires fit nicely inside the wheel well opening without any issue. The trouble is the "rake" given to the car from either a slightly shorter springs or the springs themselves are more compressed from age.  They plan to minimize the spring travel by adding some stops inside the spring coil itself.  They say that this will take about an itch of actual travel away without having to raise up the car.

Does this sound like a good idea or a bad idea? Pros, cons?

Unfortunately the car is out of state so I can't go down and see this myself.

Are you talking about the fron tor rear?
Chargers dont have coil springs, they have torsion bars up front and leaf springs in the rear.
