For one that argument was against the simple notion that a bump stop is an integral part of a suspension system and should not be omitted. You argued that a stiffer spring rate, which either met a coil bind or the forces applied could no possibly compress the travel anymore. I just don't agree, and my point parallels design practices established through automotive mfg history. Yet you still refuse it.

I'm not claiming you have less enthusiasm for the hobby, but I am saying that some things will require specific tools. I don't think a design change, implemented to appeal to those who won't find access to the tools needed, is a warranted reason. As I said already, there is no way the bushing can come out, but that is just the point. I would like to retain my parts if I damaged my subframe; now how do you do that when they're epoxied in?

Don't answer that question b/c there is no use continuing this conversation. I have not true animosity towards you, and I can say the work you did in that thread was good. You are an asset to the Zilvia community so stay that way but realize you know very little about me. If you want to start showing cards, you'll find out quickly I am quite qualified to voice an opinion.
