That's why I was asking...I know the stock suspension uses the shocks as travel stops and to keep the springs in place. Obviously this isn't a concern with coilovers, but I know some shock manufacturer explicitly state that bottoming the shock in compression or rebound will kill it in short order...

Would spring selection be better done by knowing the rear weight balance?
