You must 'design' your own shock with them as they will ask what dimensions you'll want and you will have to wait and see if what they make from that is what will fit and work.
I'd rather have a...

Yeah, thats why I was interested: I now use 944 shocks (Koni yellow) and they have their (shortenend) bump stop about the same time as my (also shortenend) trailing arm bump stops. Its a good match...

Alu arms are wider in general as you know, but the CV sits even further in the arm, making the shaft itself relatively longer then the increase in track width would suggest. Hence never a clearance...

Doesn't have QA1 have 2,25" springs and perches?...

Doesn't have QA1 have 2,25" springs and perches? I even run 2.25" on the front (other brand).

Do you only run 300lbs springs on the rear? I started with that on the front and now run 400 already...

Where in a Mc Pherson strut is the rebound limiting?

Inbound is clear with the rubber boot thingy in there, but what is there for full extension?

Seriously, I really wouldn't know.

That doesn't look like a problem at all: the front Mc Pherson struts are limited also by the shock's max downward travel. All other OEM cars also I think? Only inward travel needs an external limit...

I think what Turbonutta wanted to know is what is it that fysically limits travel eventually.
My guess is its the end/limit on the damper itself that limits downward travel.

Aren't you supposed to mount that on the other side of the trailing arm? :confused:
Maybe I am confused with alu trailing arms. It just looks odd like that to me, but maybe its just me :o

7075 T6 is nice! If its even stronger, you could spare some material and make it a little lighter still?

Very, very nice!
What part is the 'bracket'? Anything connected to the trailing arm should be as light as possible as its unsprung weigth. Alu would be preferable over steel with that thinking.
