Just to make sure I understand correctly, we (might) gain ~20mm headroom but we lose the ability to move/adjust the seat back/forth?

Also, how about your idea to remove the "post" between the...

Lowering springs are also adding negative camber, I might even get enough on both ends with this single mod (might need LCAs though). Is there any other reason I should go Pedders route instead?...

How about the noise, is it much louder than Q300? Maybe you can compare (noise levels) with some other known CB like N1 or MXP RS.
