    I would use bumpstops with any springs...which I hope that is what he meant by HR...

    You might want to look into using mtech bumpstops...they are slightly shorter, and would give the shock some extra mobility

    Oh sorry, it has been a LONG week. I meant to say H&R springs w/ Koni's.

    P.S. What's a good setting on the Koni's? Half turn from full soft seems to be failry popular.

    EDIT: Josh, that's why I am thinking of trimming them, still want to keep them there.

    Keep the bumpstops short, I bought some aftermarket ones, they are maybe 3/4 of an inch in height. Sorry I don't have a pic. When you put the rear shocks in, you have to adjust them and then install them, yuo proably know, they cannot be adjusted externally.

    The front shocks, i set at full soft. Who says the half turn trick is popular?
