I'd be stoked "Lower", however, I often chauffer (to-and-from school) my kids around and I still want them to enjoy the "Ride" as well as I do.......... Draggin' flaps all day!!

Konis or stock blown shocks won't ride any differently if they're at zero travel. Not hating or anything, but at some of the ride heights I see on H-T in general using off the shelf Konis and slammed on coil-over sleeves I wonder why bother buying the Konis at all?

The only way you can use any of that shock at crazy low heights is to:

A. Have super stiff spring rates

B. Have extended tophats

I've installed, driven, owned, and ridden on TONS of different set-ups so I can honestly say tucking 14'' and 13'' tires on shocks/sleeves cannot ride well at all. You need threaded body adjustable body full coil-overs to ride dumped and retain some shred of ride quality.

I'm just posting this so people don't think that they can go out and buy quality parts and ride on bumpstops and actually enjoy the ride. I'm not trying to be a dick - I'm honestly posting it more as a "public service announcement" type deal.

In regards to "outline" above. A and B is equipped option for wagovan and I'm not even that "slammed"......... on 16's w 205/40's... eg has almost identical setup; "Ride" quality is better and it's way more "dumped", it boils down to personal preference...

Very true, but i'm still young enough to take those extra bumps for the extra in. haha But i mainly got the suspension for my road racing and autocross(which i dont do at this low of a ride height haha)

Well like B18C5-EH2 just said, if your completely slammed dont expect too much of a difference from blown stock suspension. But when i lift up my Ground Controls to a clean drop, not slammed, its A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE! Lets just say i dont have to look for the cracks in the road anymore haha

D2's are perfect. The front is the same height as before but rides 100 times better and the rear is a little high for now until I get my LS wheels back on. But yea my bad man I was at school all day today. Then had to cut some hair. Didn't have time to get on HT. We should meet up though. Im down. Maybe next weekend or so. I got a calculus midterm coming up & I need to study. Haha.
