The problem I have with the rear SPL Midlinks is I could never get enough pre-load on the suspension. I have the damper adjusted to it's shortest setting with a 7in Swift 10k spring. This has decreased my total travel. Every now and then when I hit a big bump it can cause the car the dart which I hate. How I checked it was jacking up under the suspension while the car was on jackstands in the rear. I should have 1/2in. of compression before it lifts the car off the jackstands. I was never able to get this setup correctly.
