<VV> Lowering LM Front End / bottoming

[Louis Armer]

Hi Ray, Since no one else has mentioned it, I thought I would 
remind/ask you if you remembered to cut the rubber shock absorber
bushings in half ? When you cut the springs drastically you need to 
allow more travel for the shock absorber to function properly.
This may help eliminate the bottoming problem you experienced and of 
course removing the heavy gold bullion from your trunk would also help ;-)
