ae111 suspention questions

[phatman3801]

i have come in to a few problems with my ae111...i have lowered it on jamex springs..in the front the shocks have been sitting on the bumpstops scince lowered and the back shocks have been shortened as i had the rear jamex springs compresed to get an even height..now i want to replace all shocks az the ride is real bad esp as the front shocks are on the bumpstops...ill add that this is only a 45mm drop in front and still above guards but yet still on the bumpstops...now if i jst replace theese shocks with minroe or simialr brand it will still be on the bumpstops..what is a way i can replace all my shocks with aftermarkets and gain travel in the shocks in the front?? so they arnt on the bumpstops and have a decent amont of travel so they dnt always bottom out! i dnt wanna go adjustables as i dnt wanna adjust height, im happy with the height it sits at now..not to low not to high. also are there aftermarketshortened shocks avalible for ae111in the rear so i dnt have to get my aftermarket ones shortened??

superstrut or non superstrut? makes a big difference

...Have you heard of capital letters and a spell check?...

45mm shorter in the front and you reckon they sitting on bump stops?

You said at the start that you've shortend the back but then at the end you say you don't wont to shorten your aftermarket rear shocks? What's the story?

Why is it people always go ahead and do something just because it will look cool only to realise it will cost them more down the track than to do the job properly the first time!?!?

its non s/s and yep 45mm lowered in the front and its on the bumpstops..its jamex springs in the front and i mean is the an aftermarket shock that comes out shortened so i dnt have to get it shortened for the rear? but what can i do about the frontwhats the best thing to do accept putting in adjustables as i sed earlyer i dnt want adjusties

mmmm koni or a similar well known brand but most importantly get a damper adjustable shock, you want to set it so its a balance between a hard ride and not to soft causing it to roll all over the road

but having the car that low and driving on the potholed roads around nz you will always have bad ride

maybe invest in some trd springs
