I want to ask something about the recently posted setup. When adjusting the rear down stop, do you guys unload the rear springs? I mean, when I make the rear down stop such a low value ( 3.5mm) and the road clearance 5.5 mm, my rear springs unloaded when I lift the car...

Thank you for answer. But here starts what I don't understand. We use downstop to limit the down travel of the suspension, and when the springs unloaded, how can go the suspension arm lower? I think the suspension arm goes as low as the springs pushes it. (I don't count the free movement of the arm due to the gravity, because it doesn't carry the car)

There are 2 options parts I did not get to try out, which should help if you are experiencing understeer-
05-034A and 35A: Front sway bar right and left soft. These parts are softer than the stock sway bar pieces.
I'll get these in soon and try them out.

I'm a owner of a P8.0R, it is box stock now, and yes it is a durable car. I can't find any long term test possibility yet, but the first tests show that it is reliable car.
