With those you must fabricate some kind of bump stop

otherwise they will hit the frame with every pothole....

What size wheels?

I have the same issue here in Montreal, my plan has been to use ABT coils with Koni's. I am still waiting afetr Weldo for the coils so I will update when I get them on. However I did go from 18 with 40's to 17 with 45's and the ride is better. Many have said that the 92 and S+ coils are the way to go for this, overs have suggested a damper that actually works with the coil. So there does not seem to be a consensus on the subject....
