Thanks nate! Glad to see it coming along so well
You know my car so you know it's a bit more custom so this doesn't help completely......but I'm using the front struts from the VMAXX's and I've had no problem with them at all. They've got close to 1600 miles on them already and they ride smooth 
Just based on installing them and playing around with them....I'm pretty sure these things can go low. Just an assumption based on handling the products. I'm using the struts without springs obviously so I wasn't able to test their regular height with the VMAXX springs, but they look very similar to the KW setup in that they spin all the way past the endlink attachment point and the bottom mount location has been moved up slightly.

I installed a set of these for a customer last week. First off they won't just fit out of the box. The stock wheels won't fit without spacers, so we had to overnight a set it was expensive. Also they don't come with new endlinks, which you need cause you can't reuse the fronts. Fortunately I stock some custom length endlinks that fit perfect. After all that extra $$, I personally think the ride was a bit firm and didn't have any camber plates. Just my 2cents.

I'm curious....I've heard all this about the stock end links not fitting
My endlinks fit just fine. It's super tight and almost hits the control arm if I have them set at the highest setting....but once I lowered the car they cleared fine. Am I missing something here?
Stratosphere does plan on sending out endlinks once VMAXX develops them.
My stock wheels fit fine, but it is close. That's for the 15x5.5 five spokes. My current 16x7 et33's are close as well....so you can use those numbers to compare to your current wheels.
