GC/koni question, most travel
When I install my Ground Controls with my Koni Yellows, should I adjust the GC's or just drop the perch on my shocks? I am riding on H & R Race springs/Koni Yellows and I have no travel in my shocks. I have a horrible ricey bounce. I hope the GC's will eliminate it. Thanks

As long as the threaded sleeve doesn't sit higher than the top ofthe shock, it doesn't really matter what perch you set the Konis at, since you'll adjust height with the GC sleeve. I left mine on the normal positions.

yep,
that's your problem right there.
oem bumpstops are way too long for a lowered car.
basically they're stealing all ur suspension travel.
just take them off, and cut them in half.
Personally i cut mine down to 1/3 of their normal size, but I actually have more travel than I need now.
so yeah, cut them in half should do it.
reinstall the bottom(thicker) half, on your shocks.
it'll give you over an inch more travel,
which means much more an an inch at the tire!

A hack saw or pair of scissors. It is just foam.

razor blade dude,
you've got to take your shock/spring assembly off and apart,
then just cut it.
it is a tough material though,
sleeper styles hacksaw idea would be a good one. Would probably cut thru it like butter.
