Not sure, but it's highly unlikely. Koni only try and sell stuff that handles.

Hmmm...

Most RST's doing the numbers Drag/Track?Mega Spec don't go over 50mm drop see how you get on with them

But yeah -60 is useable just not best option. All IMO

not really,being an orion the boot helps,also with the adjustables u can set it so its pretty much perfect,without the adjustables,its like a bouncy castle on wheels,lol

i run mine on koni adjustables, and polybushes. rides perfect, handles like its on rails, you can chuck it into corners and its never made me regret it. it doesn't even skip.

my old one was -40mm and on full spax kit and it rolled into corners and didn't feel as "safe"
