Hey guys,

I just need some input on this.

I have noticed on a few 86's i've driven with aftermarket coilovers with camber plates is that they seem to hit the front bumpstops quite often over any fast bumpy roads. (mostly mid corner bumps).

I assume this is due to lack of travel. Its not something I want in my car.

Lets say I wanted to get KW v3 coilovers and use a raised camber top like what ground control has to offer, can I keep anywhere close to factory suspension travel on the front end like stock?

I only plan to drop the car a little bit, like 345-350mm from top of the wheel arch to the centre of the wheel hub.
