Crap handling

OK. I am presntly at 315 eyebrow with Espelir springs that claim to be 40
down from stock height. And previously I was lower. At 300 with standard
length struts and inserts, I was close to the OEM bump stops, and the
handling was crap Confused

To get some more bump travel I cut 40 out of the struts above the spring
perch, fitted AGX short strokes, and cut one "knob" off the OEM bump
stops. The OEM bump stops fit on the exposed shaft of the insert, but since
the Bilsteins have a larger diameter spear, they were probably discarded.
I don't know about internal bump stops, but maybe someone who knows
Bilsteins will be able to tell you. Short stroke shocks spaced up inside
the strut could bottom out early.

I would be surprised if lubricated poly bushes were that resistant to
movement !!!!! Check your springs are not binding or catching anywhere.
