So, yes - you'll have additional travel still since you're removing the compression out from the bottom of the shock. However, the shock body is already longer so it may be something you never utilize anyways.
I'm kind of looking at TRD springs - basically debating whether to be underprepared for STX or in the wrong car for CS (or do nothing and stay DS). I don't really care about the competitive aspect but if stock shocks on TRD springs means no rear travel then that'll be a pain for a DD on New York roads. The car as it is rides pretty well on the stock base 2020 suspension.
