Can anyone tell me what their bump-stop clearance is after installing lowered springs into their HR Front-ended FE/FC?
The springs in the wife's ute are too low and I think they are about 2 1/2" lower than standard. I don't want to shell out $130 for the wrong set though.
I need at least 38mm clearance with a rubber bumpstop that is 51mm (min)

Stinky,

Did you know you can buy shorter bump stop rubbers to suit lowered front ends?  Fulcrum can get them - I'm not sure who else.

Would this solve your problem?

I had thought of that, but the bump stop rubbers need to be 51mm minimum, roadworthy requirement, which AFAIK is the factory height for the rubber.
I am pretty sure 2" lowered springs would do the job, but I want to make sure before I cough.
