In reallity, ultra lows are a "looks" mod.....you've lost more than 1/2 the suspension travel.....and all there is left has got to be really hard or it bottoms out.
Cut springs aren't the answer either, because the rate of compression hasn't changed ( unless it is a rising rate spring), and the spring preload isn't correct anymore. Stuffing around with suspension without a good knowledge of it, can lead to a crappy ride, crappy handling in different situations....and just plain dangerous. What is it you want to do ?????

You will still be able to use them with the same struts and shocks. |
