Default Konis with GC...limited travel?

Well I about got the motor wrapped up and now I am feeling I wanna dump these Omnis and get a Koni/ Ground Control setup. I really have gotten spoiled with the limited travel on these cheap coil overs. I wish they had a little more rebound travel. I have done some searching and found some answers and info, but I thought I would try to be more direct than I found

So are all three Sports, SP3, and their Race shocks limited rebound travel? I just wanna see or know where these would sit extended.



I hope I am referring everything in the correct terms... correct me if need be

8041-Sports have the same droop travel as stock when used with stock upper mounts.

8041-SP3 have 20mm of additional droop limiter material inside the body, so they have 20mm less droop travel than stock or regular Sports.

8041-RACE have both shortened bodies (25mm front and 15mm rear) and additional droop limiter material (40mm front and 35mm rear) compared to the regular Sports. I do not recommend that these be used with Ground Control upper mounts, as you will be constantly topping out the dampers.
