Maybe you went too far. Ride quality riding on the bumpstops will likely be a tad harsh....

You're trying to drop height by only changing springs, correct? JMHO, but if you end up just buying springs, you're probably going to end up with a combo that you'll end up having to change springs again in order to truly correct geometry problems.

All my lowering experience comes from lowering trucks, but my best experience with ride and handling after lowering has been using drop spindles in combination with drop springs.
