I was looking at your thread on your Bilstein shocks and got a question. I got a QA1 Ultra Ride adjustabe shock and it shows the same compression and extension lengths as the Bilstein (10.18" to 14"). Problem I'm having is I have a 10" spring and with shock fully extended I have to compress spring 1" to get spring on. When car is in riding position, the 10" spring is compressed to 8" which means I will only have 1" of rebound travel before shock is fully extended. My old Carrera 3265's had about 3" of extension when installed. How is your setup and how is it working. My purpose is to get a softer ride on street and turn a knob for stiffer when driving more agressive without replacing shock each time.
