Instead of boosting the spring rate by 50lbs/in on initial engagement you might be boosting it by 100lbs/in.
Yup, that's the unfortunate nature of the beast. As of right now my front ride height is about a half inch higher, going under the theory the bumpstops are the cause of this, and if they are compressed about a 1/4th of an inch, I would have to remove around 3/4th of an inch to drop the front down.

I'm not sure if I will modify the M3 or the Original bumpstop as of right now, that will be something to determine this weekend.
