Bumpstops
Weird question. I recently installed h&r sport springs on my 235. They were used but came with the front only bumpstops. The front is definitely lower than the rear. The stock bumpstops are still on the rear shocks. Would installing the shorter bumpstops in the rear drop it a little more? Wanted the drop to be even.
Thanx |

the bump stops shouldn't change a thing. they do not dictate ride height. they only soften the rebound when you completely compress the suspension.
i personally like a little rake. maybe it'll settle in time.

You really need to determine whether your rear is sitting on the bump stops at static ride height. If it is, then going to shorter rear bump stops should lower it a bit. It's not uncommon for the bump stops to be engaged at static ride height with lowering springs.
