I've had no problem whatsoever. The last time I went air born, Dukes of Hazard style, I landed just fine
I have seen autos and motorcycles with springs that are "too short" when the vehicle is off the ground. Now my qustion to Scott is, why "should" there be pre load on the springs when the suspension is fully extended?
The reality of the situation is, you are lowering the car from its original ride height, running higher rate springs at the same time. If anything, its not that the springs are too short, its that the shock travel is too long.
I'll guarantee you this much, Gary Hall did not select those springs by throwing a dart at a catalog, he consulted somebody with expertise in that area.
