Calling all people who have gone more than -60mm rear!

On your rear shocks did you remove completely or just trim the bump stops?
When I went -80mm before I'm sure mine kept bottoming out, wanna try again but unsure if I should trim my bump stops more, or just remove them completely.

NB - I'm using G-Max prated hocks and -80mm custom springs.

Please help!
Thanks, Sam

I ran 100mm springs with my gaz 32 point adjustable shocks which seemed fine untill you realise it messes with the rear brakes and can cause you to loose control. I wont be going back to that lol.
