That's exactly my point here.
1. You just changed the effective spring rate of the suspension making it way stiffer
2. You are now allowing for the shock shaft to travel more than intended which *could* potentially damage the shocks internals and even bend them
Honestly, I do not think that our cars should be lowered too much. Also, a properly designed suspension kit will include new bump stops.
