Folks,
Are bump stops recomended on coil over shocks,
just got my QA1's, mounted to chassis to check clearance and it dawned on me that nothing stops it thumping into the end, unless the spring binds before getting through the full stroke,

Also, got 12" springs for the rears, had to compress them 15mm for the spring seat to clear the lower arm, i.e. need 11.5" springs for a perfect fit,
is there a ratio of compression to vehicle lift,
Not sure if i'm thinking this through correctly, but if the springs are rated at 400Lb/In, and ive compressed it say 1/2", what does this mean in terms of ride height?, rear end will weigh about 580kg when finished.
