    Increases spring preload for more lows, can even modify the front mount and thread it on upside down to get more lows, there's details on vortex thread somewhere

    Regarding rear guards. Gotta get that sticky stuff out. Use a wire wheel or whatever you can to scrape it out then you can roll guards.
    I got tired of that chalkboard bonnet quicker than i thought haha.
    Will give it a try with the sticky stuff and let you know thanks.

    I have recently got cx's and they are far from low coil overs. Don't know what the go is.
    Well i they sat alright untill i stiffened the spring rate, then it just wouldn't get low enough, which sucks.

    Thanks man! I got them from here: Nemoto Borb 15x8 +10 4x100/114.3 otomoto.com.au
    They're only reps though, but good enough for now while i save some $$.

    I wouldn't recommend it, but have you tried reducing the preload on the spring to the point where its a little sloppy, looks like some of the guys on vortex are doing that to get real low, check out the CX racing thread if you haven't already.
    HaydEn, you tried all that though didn't you?

    And as said, wire brush wheel on a power drill to get that rubber out of the rear guards. I primed mine after to cover a few spots were it got down to metal, and then once rolled used some black caulking **** along the top of the fold to prevent water building up in there.
    I originally had CX's, but i busted a front one from incorrect istallation haha. So i have CX's in the rear and JOMs in the front.
    I'll give the Vortex thread a look, thanks.
    Alright thanks for the tip on the rubbery stuff, will get at it ASAP!
