I asked this question on the autocross list, but I thought I'd give everyone else a shot.
Here's my problem. I have KYB AGXs, GC coilovers and Cusco camber plates with the stock bump stops trimmed the recommended amount by GC. The car is lowered ~3/4". I have ~1/2" of travel before I bottom out. I know this by using the highly sophisticated zip-tie method: Jack car up, place zip tie around shock piston, lower car, measure distance to bump stop. The rear is fine.
This is not enough travel. I need more. The least expensive options are:
1) Purchase GC camber plates. I will get 3/4"-1" of extra travel since they mount on top of the tower. Price: $350
2) Purcahse shortened, threaded body shocks from Motivational. Price: $325 each, $650 total.
3) Since I have sleeved coilovers, I can purchase regular shortened non-threaded body shocks from Motivational designed for lowereing springs for $235 each, or $470 total.
I'm leaning towards the GC camber plates. I'll be able to keep the external adjustability of the AGXs, I'll still get 1" of travel, and I can sell my Cusco plates to offset the $350 cost. Any other suggestions?
Anyone want some Cusco camber plates?
