It's easy enough to prevent the shocks from being damaged by bottoming out. All you need is some slotted plastic washers on the shock shaft (available from racing parts stores like Truechoice). That will stop the shock from bottoming internally. You would still have the problem of loss of control when the suspension reaches the limit of travel though.
If I were you I would go ahead and have the spindles raised, somewhere between 19-25 mm. I seriously doubt you will ever notice the evils that Brett described from lowering the car. From your picture it looks like the car is/was being painted. The rear wheels/tires you plan on installing will require about a 2" flare, but it doesn't look like you have any flares. |
