Hey guys i just got my superlows installed on the weekend along with KYB shocks, the problem is the suspension bottoms out if i hit a slight dip in the road and not going to fast it has me concerned as it happens on normal driving, Anybody else have an issue with this combo? or does anybody know if its normal or how to fix the problem?
Anybodys help would be appreciated as considering changing to lows!

cheers brendan

it is because your bump stops are too big. when i had king superlows in mine it was sitting on the bumpstops. infact i had to cut about an inch off my bumpstops to get any suspension travel. and after cutting off an inch i had about 3mm travel. so i went back to lows and cut the bump stops down further, so now i have about 2-3" of travel and it is much smoother. to see how much travel you have, while the car is on the ground stick your arm into the wheel arch and put your fingers through the spring and feel the gap between the top of the shock and the bump stop.
