heya
I had my gz10 soarer lowered on ma61 king springs lows and shocks.. only problem is on hard corners my car hits the bump stops as it only has 10mm clearance..
The car passed every other test easily.
My options i can see are raising the rear end(only rear end is hitting)another 15 mil's or finding different bump stops
heres is hot it sits 
any other idea's?..
thanks

Get smaller bump stops, or hack up your existing ones. It's a pretty common thing to do after lowering a car that much.

Guess that fixes it, but still means there is bugger all suspension travel left?

I haven't hit my bump stops yet, and I've done plenty of hard cornering. Are you sure you're hitting bump stops and not something else, eg tyre on guard?

yep.. pedders checked it all out
I had my guards modified by a panel place.. its like impossible to hit them
its only my rears doing it..
car takes sweepers beautifully.. but sharpies like crap.. well not crap.. just not awesome
i might see if a suspension shop willdo it for me

Hey,
If you cut your bump stops won't that mean your car can get even closer to the ground? eg bottom out. Your car looks very low, if you mess with the bump stops you might find yourself smashing the ass end into the ground when you hit big pot holes or bumps. Just a thought
Hell I only lowered my cressy 30mm and I keep banging the stock exhaust on the ground when I hit a big dip or bump in the road at highway speeds. Its really pissing me off. My centre mufflers all bashed in now

i ahvent hit mine at all yet from normal driving
only scraped when trying to get up my gf's driveway(i bottommed out and slid back down leaving a fuck load of nice scrapes on my car)
other than that not yet
my exhaust is about 3 cm under the height of a coke can off the ground
so 3 cm below the lip
havent scraped at all
the lowest points are generally inline with the wheels.. so i dont think it will be that bad if i modify the bump stops
