If the bump stops are touching that means that you effectively have no suspension at all. Explains your bumpy ride you were bouncing on the bump stops, bugger all your shocks can do to smooth that out.

Which translates in to "HERPA DERPA HERP!!"

He painted it purple and spent more then a VT is worth on air bags, I'd say its very likely they drive it like that.

I also bet they wear wide brimmed flappy caps.

vs commodore
I knew a couple of blokes years ago who used to set up their drag cars like that with the front end way up in the sky.It gave better weight transfer over the rear axle for traction and ultimately a better launch. The cars looked stupid sitting up in the front like that,even these guys would admit that,but they didnt care if it was worth some time off the quarter.But these guys now, do it thinking that looks good,pffff.What a joke.

pedders 2016, well if you put in spring that are designed for a deawoo espero, vw bora & 316 bmw what do you expect, its the wrong spring for the car, why do you think the guys who installed it said it may cause damage, i think to cover there ass, but silly them for installing them in the first place. wouldnt be suprised if your rear x-member cracks in half.
