Short stroke suspension

top of the damper (car body) by 40mm. Then lower the top of the shock
body by 40mm, shouldn't you now have the exact same bump stroke as
stock? I know mine does with a very similar setup.

Maybe I'm more than 40mm down ? I know the Espelir springs were rated
40mm down when I bought them. After I installed them I was only about
20mm off the bumpstops before I cut the struts. I'll have a look in my
notes to see how I assessed the bump and rebound travel when I fitted
the AGX inserts. I know I had to cut the bumpstops to get adequate bump
travel.

EDIT: Thinking about it some more, I spent a lot of time trying to set the
front up to function within the total available operating stroke of the AGX
inserts. There is not a lot of working stroke to start with, and cutting the
bumpstops unlocked another 20-25mm. Then I aimed for 60% bump and
40% rebound.
