sounds a bad idea, but if high poundage springs wer fitted then it wouldnt have chance to bottom out with day to day driving on the road..

would be quite harsh ride but is it pos?

does anyone know how long the bumpstops are in spax rsx dampers..

but 5cm tall, why do you want to remove them, the spax rsx go plenty low enought without removing the bumpstops?

Your ride will be the most rideously uncomfortable ride ever,

You ask way to many questions, but never get anythin done! 100 at the back should sit alittle lower then mine does at the back, at the front the spax rsx sit low enought on the last coil with the bumstops in, why you want to take the bumpstops out is beyond me to be honest.

how do you know that i never do anything that i ask?

the fronts fine, i can wind that right down once the back is lower...

also ive got the rear springs sorted, its just the rear shocks i need to sort now thats why ive asked now..

if the bump stops are 5cm then thats fine, how sure are you that there this size?

And im this sure

Ok, just warning you. You will be suprised, when you cant drive to work without being pissed off by end of the journey, when you cant take passengers in the car front or back without saying sorry every 2 minutes for the most uncomfortable drive
