[T3] Darksiders Help! (Shock Trouble)

["Oliver Parker" <oliverparker@hotmail.com>]

I am having a little problem with my '73 fasty.  The front is lowered two 
splines.  To make matters worse I am running 195-50 R15s up front.  I left 
the rubber bump stops still in place.  Well, as i expected the couple of 
times that the thing has bottomed out has destroyed the rubber stops.When it 
bottoms out now there is that lovely metal on metal noise that makes me 
cringe.  Because I am stubborn and I just hate to cut metal (If I have to I 
would rather raise the front one notch)I am trying to work around having to 
cut off the bump stops.  I am now using KYB front shocks for a lowered 
beetle.  I need to find a shock with a much, much higher damping rate (any 
suggestions????).  I also need to limit travel (any suggestions????)to 
prevent the dreaded Beam-hitting-road syndrome or the even more feared 
Beam-Hitting-Manhole syndrome.
