ummmm not sure what they look like but most of the 'cool dudes' in commodores falcons and so on usually cut the bump stop in half, and only fit one half. but i'm guessing your is a rubber one on the control arm or something so all i just did was waste your time!@!!!!#$#$!!!

I could be wrong but is the inside spline of the torsion bar the same as the outside????? if not maybe you can lower it 1/2 as much and maybe you'll be able to drive it as well as look at it .

just cut half the seat springs and you`ll be riding low😉 (LOL)
sorry couldnt help it, i think thats a ricer boy thing:vader
shorten the bumpstops and if the height between shock bolts is shorter than shock length shorter shocks is the go🙂
