And that travel is very important to getting good ride quality and not hearing and feeling every dip or bump in the road. You can probably take another 1/2 - 3/4 inch off it if you wanted to or just get the MM snubber...its like 20 bucks I think.As for the rating of the springs... its not so much that the springs have a poor rating... they are fine. The word "poorly" should be followed by the word "matched" in that statement. The problem is the rate of the springs (the amount of weight required to compress the spring 1 inch) is too high for the dampers in place. Thats a quick and dirty explanation of it. For a better and more technical description, call up MM when you order your shorter snubber and ask them what they think would be a good match for your springs. But keep in mind they are probably gonna try and upsell you into their proprietary dampers($$$) they sell now or a set of Koni yellows ($$$$). But if you get someone to talk straight with you, they will most likely tell you to just dump the D-specs because they arent strong enough for the spring you are running and that Bilsteins are what you need.</blockquote>
