For those of you who have replaced there springs with lowered aftermarket springs, did you shorten the travel length of your struts?

Here in NZ we can get "Pink Stickered" (i.e. not roadworthy)if a cop can see the spring "floating" when the car is raised or in some cases when the car is not raised and on a flat surface.

Comments?

There is enough compression in the spring assemblies before they are put on the car to keep the springs from "floating."
