I understand, that is where I came from, kyb front rear, and intrax springs. I just could not resist going lower, but its odd that you had all those problems when you were lower. I haven't really bottomed out, just the occasional tall speed bump! The roads I drive are usually traveled by logging trucks, and I drive close to 1000 miles a week as mine is my work car ..... Then again, I do not have to deal with cobbles here.
