I have Cofap gas in mine - it's possible to cut down the bump rubber (it's part of the shock, but external, IYKWIM) by a coupel of inches. Works on
mine - but mine is set up for handling, not super-dooper-silly low

i agree with the dancing grover, essentially you get what you pay for. unless you can snag a really great 2nd hand deal.
