nice find.

There seems to be the never ending disagreement between how to properly set shock body length. I have heard from a few suspension gurus on my civic forums and from Jeff @ MI and they agree that shortening the shock body too much reduces the amount of available droop. Doing this causes the shock piston to "top out" and this is what is causing all of us to blow the top o ring.

Now there are those like Seth and Jason who say that we need to shorten our shocks more and customize them to be even shorter. This again is going to cause the shock to "top out."

I don't know if there is a "sweet spot" or if you guys are just lucky your shocks have not yet blown, or if it also is due to our respective terrain but why such the disconnect?
