Bender, I didn't really notice the rear of my car sitting that high to be honest - I've got the collars unwound all the way - much like I do on my 501X I guess. Using siver AE springs the rear is pretty much where I want it. I get a LOT of droop but no problem I guess unless you're using the CVD's. To be honest the shocks are straight off my 501X with absolutely no changes - I just wanted to put on shocks I knew worked but I didn't really consider the tower might be slightly lower.
