    Q's on TCkline Suspension Setup

    Hey everyone, I am attempting to get my car setup for street/auto-x.

    TCKline DA's
    Vorshlag camber plates
    Strut tower reinforcements
    450#/550#
    Sway Barbarian on full soft
    Ride height: F: 12.75", R: 11.5"
    245's all around

    Now, front shock travel appears to be in the 2.5"-3" zone before it hits the bump stop. Seems a little short to me. Is normal?

    I have seen another poster with the same setup say he was running F: 12.5", R: 11.25". Doesn't seem right to me looking at the limited front travel

    Don't have my notes in front of me, but those numbers seem well in the ballpark.
    Are the bump stops cut/shortened (like I believe Koni and TCK recommend)?

    Not sure if they are shortened to be honest, as I bought them a couple years ago second hand. I would venture to say no, judging by the lack of allowable travel. How can I determine for sure?

    The stock ones for E36 look like this:

    Cut, they look shorter.
