When we were test fitting the shorter TTX rears to my car we bottomed the wheel/tire into the chassis before running out of stroke.

I think you typed this exact same thing out before including the pic lol. BTW I'm assuming this testing was without a bump stop correct? I clear or possibly rub slightly somewhere unknown with the 20mm stop (it only happened once)

My guess is it'll be around 10" with a 20mm stop. Will, I think you have a 30mm bump stop correct? not that it's a bad thing I'd rather have a 30mm stop so it's a bit more progressive but making use of it will be rare so it's not worth the 40 bucks.

Whatever the number is it's definitely enough I've only used up the travel once and that was a huge dip mid corner. No need to hold back through this corner anymore

Some new additions to compliment the Ohlins

I picked these up from BlackTrax the other day and hopefully will get them on the car sooner than later

Sphericals to replace the lower rubber shock bushing

My bad, I forgot to mention you have to PM or call them because they haven't updated yet.

Mac when you weighed them in the beginning of the thread did you have top hats on there? How much would you guesstimate the top hats weigh?

Also any particular reason you went with the AST top hats? He's saying I can either do AST top hats or Tein top hats and the Teins are cheaper by around $200 total. Not sure if you also had that choice or if he recently found the Tein ones.

Thanks for posting this by the way, I'm not sure I would have known about these otherwise.
