Default suspension question?

My question to vadriven is can i take the adjusters off my suspension. I have the skunk2 pro series on the car and i want it to go a little bit lower. It looks to me like if you took the adjusters out, the spring would just sit into the strut where it normally would. Anybody done this or know what i'm talking about? So far everyone has said i should be alright, but nobody has done it before that i know of.

Thanks for your help

Just weld the suspension wherever you want it. It will be the same in the end. You aren't going to have any suspension travel either way.

Yes, extended top hats. Then you can completely fuck up your suspension and steering geometries, and still keep 3/4" of suspension travel. Sweet.

If by "sucks", you really mean "doesn't want to humor someone trying to completely fuck up their car", then Driven sucks nowadays, sure. We're collectively sorry that you're not enjoying your stay.
