I just bought the vader 2 bodykit from extreme dimensions and I was wondering if the body would bottom out on bump's or are the shocks stiff enough so that will not happen ?

If I have a problem on my hands what should i do ?

change the shocks?

pesonaly I dont think it would bottom out but I need some feedback I'm not sure?

Well if you want to be technical they are actually called dampeners.

If you wanna be technical, you call it "Shock Dampeners" or some may call it "Shock Absorbers".

The springs are absorbing the shock, the dampeners just keep the motion from the springs from getting out of hand.

If you are stock you should not have a probelm bottoming out. Most people with the Veilside kits are fine until they lower it.

I believe Majik said either that:

1. The real Veilsides are lower than the fake ones he has seen
2. The real Veilsides are higher than the fake ones he has seen

While that doesn't help you since I don't know which one it is, they're are differences because of the super duper low quality of the materials and casts made of it. Good luck trying to get it to fit. lol.gif
