The lower mounts will not hook in the carpet, because they are mounted on the arms. So if the arm moves up, the mount will move up, too. I have tested it two full days and one race on an oldschool outdoor track with high curbs, low curbs, bumpy curbs; these "hooks" never even touched the ground once or got stuck. I had the same experience indoor, too. And there I often ran over the curbs and the wooden strips that seperated the lanes, because visited the track for the first time ever.

The arm doesn't move up or down for that matter. Not in relation to the ground, anyway, at least as long as the wheels are on the ground. It is the car that moves up and down on the springs. If anything, the inboard end of the arm does move up and down as the car rolls.
My opinion is that sooner or later something will hook into the lowest hanging part of the car, whichever that is. Why tempt fate?
I would look into shorter shocks if there are any.
