bumpstops, over lowering, and shocks.... anyone please give your opinion!

[JRuner1]

Ok i have bec tech shocks and eibach prokit springs. now the springs are supposed to lower about 1.3 inchs but i have them down about 2 inches in the front and i just have the prokit springs on the back and stock shocks. (i wasn't able to losen the screws in the back yet for the shocks) so anyway, it's riding like shit in the front and perfect in the back. so i'm wondering if it's only supposed to lower it 1.3 inches and i have it lower will the ride automatically be bad? also i heard i should trim the bump stops in the front 30mm and 20mm in the back.... could that also be causing the bad ride if i haven't done that? and also i was told that i need to put the aftermarket shocks on the back for it to be balanced so i'm sure that will help it too.... any help would be appreciated!

damn guys, i know people deal with this stuff all the time. can i get any help here? moderators? someone! just need to know if i need to cut my bump stops, and if lowering my springs past 1.3 will cause them to bounce. thanks to anyone! damn......

if you bought a spring kit thats supposed to lower the front 1.3", what did you do to change it to 2". did you cut the springs?

[JRuner1]

the bec techs are adjustable shocks. so it shortens or raises the spring height. so i was wondering if i should cut the bumpstops or get the eibach sportline which lowers it more then the prokit.......

id say either buy a spring kit with the height you want, or raise the front back to what its supposed to be. i dont know for sure, but im assuming if their constructed with a certain height and spring rate, changing that manufacture spec cant have a positive affect.

If you didn't cut your bump stops you will need to do that cause shock travel will be shortened by your lowering springs. So shaving off 20-30mm is enough to make it smoother.
