i saw your thread horn old boy and your ride looks awesome. iread that you didnt have that annoying long travel bump from the rear shocks. i was worried that it would happen or get that nasty "bottoming out" feeling. 2 inches doesnt promote oil pan scrape?. also, where did you get your dampers from and how much? did i mention it looks awesome? HAHAJOEY- you're correct, your statement seems to reflect the general concensus of what everyone thinks. ill prolly just get some tenzos and later some stiffer shocks and struts. any advice from here? also, once again thanks for the input.

if he cant afford or doesnt want to spend the money on springs he can cut the front springs and heat the rear springs. still very ghetto but.... it will be safer than using those clamps.

yep . a die grinder or cut off tool for the front and a torch for the rear. heating springs can be bad but with such lightweight cars.....
