The first and obvious reason for that was the lack of my beloved Hoosiers A6… but when I drove the car back to Thousand Oaks I felt that something was different. You see, since I put my new PRO PARTS/KONI 3012 and the Kevlar body kit back in November I was driving the car with the coilovers set at the highest level. I did that to protect the Kevlar front end from rubbing on speedbumps/driveways etc.
When I came to Fontana this Sunday I set the car to a normal/low height for the event and when I left I decided to leave it there (so I can figure out if the car would scrape anywhere).
Here is a picture of the ride height:

My Fwy drive was almost scary with the car hitting hard every time I was passing over the fwy connections – to the point that my seat belt was holding me from hitting my head on the roof (I'm serious on this

That made me think that the shocks are probably touching the bumpstops but I would never imagine how bad the situation really was.
Today I removed the front bumper and I looked at the suspension travel… what I saw was terrifying.
The bump stops were squished to almost 5% of their size and there was ZERO travel at the front.


The situation was equally bad at the rear where the shocks were fully compressed.

I’m currently trying to think what I can do and how I can improve this condition.
One thought would be to reverse the two piece shock mounts but if I do I’ll need to weld the two mounts together – otherwise the load will go on the four little bolts that connect the two mounts together. Still I’m not sure if gaining that much height would make any huge difference and if the weld mounts will be able to hold the car's weight.
The other option would be to get other mounts and get rid of the floating perches. I wanted to get these ones but they are discontinued


What do you think?
