You've re-enforced my thoughts. I understand if I drop an additional inch above and beyond the 2" drop that is integrated into your spindles, I would loose 1" of compression travel. Your right. I forgot about the balljoint possibly taking the brunt of the load on extreme compression such as hitting something large in the road at speed. And the valving is understood. I could live with that extra expense though. Every time I would buy a MotoX bike first thing I would do was to send off the forks/shock for revalving to suit my driving style anyway. But I'd rather not lose any of my compression travel.
How much adjustment does your coil overs have for ride height adjustment? 1"?
I know I can tweak with different weight springs and or shorter springs with circle track adjusters but would rather not mess around with that. How much drop does the reduced height body bushings give? 3/4"?
Guess if I can't live with the amount of drop your set-up gives me, I'll channel the sub into the floor pan. But that will be last resort. I've channeled a couple of cars in the past and its not much fun and you lose that factory feel inside.
Thanks for your help.
