long-travel rear shock mounts

Those who have purchased this...does it really help (does that extra inch make a difference?). I'm going to drop my car using B+G springs and AGX's. Do i need to purchase these and is there anything like this for the front?

They're definately worth it, considering you'll be hitting bumpstop out back more than in the front.

B&G springs have a pretty good drop. Those mounts give back suspension travel and puts the rear shock in a more neutral position. The end result is that the suspension will be able to soak up road irregularities while maintaining ride comfort and control.

Also make sure you either cut off at least 1-1/2 rings from the stock front strut bump stops or use the KYB boots with that setup.

That gives the front struts a bit more room to travel.
