Suspension with no spring?

I have got a Trek 3700 with SR Suntour M2025 forks and the bike is used for riding to and from work. So last night I took the spring out of the fork and the bike feels much better to ride on the roads.

It has bottom out bumpers so there is still a few cm of travel in the forks, but is that enough to stop the forks being shook apart? Are there any other dangers to running the fork like this that I haven't considered?

Cheers in advance.
