We're not running any. My car is not built for storing several hundred pounds of crap in the hatch anymore.

Me neither, but I am worried about going over big dips in the road fast and having the rear end dip. Ask me how I know this can be an issue!

I remounted the stop to the subframe on the inboard side of the springs, by the fuel tank. Or you can use shaft mounted ones on the struts

I have the shaft mounted ones already. Was interested in what other people are doing that is not that
