has anyone does this before, i know its not a very good idea with normal springs..

but if there was high poundage spring inplace then it most likely wouldnt have chance to bottom out with normal day to day driving on the road...

Bump stops arre there for a reason. I'd say if you need to remove them then you're going too low! If there is such a thing as too low lol? Down to personal preference i suppose

im going for around 100/110mm on the rear...

decided to keep the bumpstops in now for obvious reasons, but still can go this low...

exactly what im doing, should give me about 25mm extra travel while i can still keep half the bumpstop in just incase..

25mm will make alo of difference, as i can still go as low as i want but still have some travel..
