Default full drop
Hello Mike
I would check with the suppliers regarding weather you will need to fit travel limitng straps.
When i was raceing my dune buggy i had bilstein shocks fitted that were designed to be ok at full drop (buggies spend alot of time with the wheels in the air).
I honestly think you wont need straps because i dont think you will have the car airborn too often (except when it is on jacks supports).
I wouldnt mind betting that your daily drive car doesnt have straps fitted, yet when its wheels are off the ground its shocks are at full travel.
