As for changing the spring length, you have to check with your coilover manufacturer on this one - if the coilovers are dual height adjustable, I don't see a problem. If not, you might end up altering the stroke of the shock itself.

As for handling the higher springs, I cannot fathom how they couldn't - example: there are certain Cusco applications that come with 10 kg/mm springs (559 lbs) as stock, and they work just fine

I use the ohlins road and track. single height adjustable. I am aware of the problems with changing the stroke of the shock, but it's the only way to get the clearance between the lower spring perch and the tire. To compensate for the shortened stroke, I am upping the spring rates. I am also still lifting the inside rear tire in competition, so I am trying to reduce the body roll as well.

thanks!

Yes, they are awesome! I am running -3.5 and have plenty left for more. The top triangular plate has slotted holes for caster adjustment. The center hole is off-set on the plate, so you can flip it over and get more adjustment on the caster if you ever needed it.
