Did you put the clip on the middle of each shock (front and rear). On the Koni fronts you have 3 levels you can put the clip that holds the coilovers in place. Which one did you put it on? Same for the rear.
the perch clip is on the top notch for the fronts, and is in the middle notch on the rears.
i'm just surprised because i hear of so many ppl running this setup without any problems, and i would assume atleast a small portion of those people would be smart enough to check shock travel. so are they are just riding on bumpstops lol.
i'm gonna make a call over to GC and to Koni today too. boy am i bummed, spend all this money and can't even acheive the setup i want, sigh. looks like i'm gonna go ahead with the extended top hats for the front, then i'll make my own for the rears. i'll make em a lil bit taller in the rear.
btw i appreciate the responses, i haven't been able to get a single reply all weekend on HT.
