it is trur that they limit upwards travel... the rear end moves up and "pivoting" arount the IC.. so the tractionbar will hit when the rear of the is depressed... thate is propably why you have so much distance from the snubber to the car at rideheight... they are effectively only serving as bumpstops....
get rid of them asap
and the 5 pic limit is per post (smilies counts as pics btw) so just do multible posts... thats is totally ok....
The GTA wheels will look right at home on that thing btw... cool car
