Default shortened shocks.

where can i find a good set of shocks that are actually shorter so i dont loose to much travel in the front of my car. I have bilsteins now and i cant use them for more than a 2 inch drop.

Koni's are the only ones I know of that you can get with a shortened shock strut/body - but they're not cheap. I would imagine some of the higher dollar coilover options are shorter, but don't know for sure.

Why do you wanna drop more than 2 inches? Any farther than that and your compression travel is down to practically nothing. Shortened shocks won't do anything to help available compression travel.

The only ones are the Koni Yellows, which you have to have shipped out to have that done, IIRC.
