NoHachi,

Isn't that the point Moto-P is trying to make with his Addendum in the technical articel I posted a link to in my post when I talked about shortening the struts? He has got some nice diagrams to clarify itBig Grin

Anyways nice info anyways, clearifies it from a more technical standpointBig Grin Indeed, using short stroke shocks with stock length struts and spacers, or using long stroke struts and lowering springs (or really any setup where you lower the car more then a couple of cm and you keep the stock struts lenght) is asking for trouble in the long run.

Don't go crazy though, if you got some nice APEX, KONI, INTRAX whatever sporty lowering springs that lower the car 2cm or so, you really don't loose enough travel to worry about these things. Generally speaking you're talking about lowering more then 4cm on a hachi when you're getting into trouble with travel (with TRD or Swift springs you will encounter this so defo shorten your struts!).
Greetz,

Moved down under, no more hachi Sad
