OK, I can see that. I still don't think you'll find the bumpstops on the TEIN dampers at anything that would resemble a reasonable ride height, at least I haven't. I also believe you'll run out of alignment adjustment well before your tires start finding the inner fender wells.

Either way, I don't have experience with both the RA and RS. I can say that my Tein RA's have improved my lap times and overall handling confidence. I think the guys with JIC's in my autocross group would agree.

The rear more than the fronts. I also rub the front inner liners on occasion at 1". At 1" my alignment settings are maxed out in the rear to acheive the UK specs.

I thought you decided to cut the bumpstops because of travel concerns.
I greased up the shafts to measure how far my dampers were traveling. They were no where near the bumpstops.

After discussing my issues with a consultant I found that what I needed was a stiffer front bar. This is not unlike what others have found.

I had good turn-in going to understeer and then back to oversteer on exit. What was happening was the front was falling over on the outside-front tire on turn-in. As soon as the weight shifted back on the rear upon corner exit it transitioned to oversteer. I have a front bar on order.
