Told ya told ya

After all I told ya mate, it was sitting in the bumpstops thats why their is hard ANY difference now you have raised it! Reason it handles better now is that the springs are actually doing something and working. Spax RSX is ONLY supposed to be wound down to the last threads for SHOW use where the bumpstop/plastic washer has been removed. This will give you a TRUE 120mm drop, but DONT try and drive like it LOL.

As someone who owns an RSX kit and has played around with the height MANY, MANY times I feel I shoud share my knowledge so that others dont have to feck about like I have. Anyhow, glad its sorted mate and im glad youve raised it otherwise the dampers will have been shot after a couple of months
