You won't have enough suspension travel.

Ull be ok for normal driving, but if u come across a dip at a higher rate of speed then normal, its gonna stop shorter from what its supposed it. Doesnt feel too nice, Im gonna get my Teins and Toks installed when the Toks come in either tomorrow or tuesday and im not gonna trip the bumpstops due to the fact the suspension is gonna be on the car for only a short time, (no more then 2 months) til I get a 2K3 and transfer it to that, but I will trim the stops in that car. I just have to watch out for those few weeks for were I drive.

Bumpstops are located on the shock rod.

my exhaust is not too loud, because the Cattman B has build in resonator. If u get the racing straight pipe on custommaxima.com, it makes ur car even more quiet.

The straight pipe is louder than any catalytic convertor, even the custommaxima one, cuz I have it.
