If your car in bottoming on the bump rubbers you make not notice it at street speeds, mine would act up when cornering hard (say in a on-ramp)

The car would start to bounce.
if you see it in person.. the rear is higher then the front...(i like the agreesive look that it gives) .. and as you've stated it handles better ..

couple more images..

It shouldnt damage anything driving on it right until I can get it fixed (20-30 miles tops)? I'll just take it easy and try not to hit any bump (good luck with that right?)

No you will be fine, unless you hit the mother of all bumps at speed.

If this is the problem, you are just riding on the rubber piece that is designed for that purpose.

If you read though the other thread you can get a good idea of how to get it adjusted. You want the shock to be at mid-travel when at rest. That way you have full travel both up and down.

Didn't the wrenchs come with the dampers?
