I agree 100%, the effort we have been putting into the Damptronic Bilstein program has added special camber plates, spring mounts and maybe even a new diff with torsen and clutch pack to solve what I ran into once I lowered a car 2". This left me wondering how others made it work, they don't they load up bumpstops and don't balance full travel spring rates based on full travel of both ends. The entire suspension is a system that everything has to be treated interactively or it just doesn't work together. Track testing, road testing and lots of cad work is the only way to do it right the rest is just good marketing. In almost all professional racing bump stop control is as important as shock valving. Sorry for the rant, to much time with the inlaws I guess
