Re: suspension problems / Jamex Bump Stops

["Aaron D. Patton" <apatton1@airmail.net>]

55mm drop is definitely too low for the ProGas.   From my understanding, and
experience, the ProGas dampers are really designed for use with springs that
are close to stock height.  I have a set of them on my car with Hor Tech
springs, not the greatest setup, but not terrible.
