Compressed springs = crap!!!No, shortened shocks won't stiffen it up. New shocks will control the springs better. Rear guard rub is because you are too low & soft = springs (and shocks if they are fooked). [insert standard response] If you go with something like Koni's or Bilstein's and some Jamex's or King's it will ride very well and be low, not ass scraping pimpin' low. Anything less is a compromise, Anything more is custom ($$$ if you want it to work well). [/insert standard response] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
