Coilover question

Do any of the coilover kits available for the W203 (H&R , KW, Tein, K-Sport , D2) increase the suspension travel (even at a lowered stance setting) by lowering the lower spring perch ... so that even though the car is lower, the spring length and the overall travel still has a full range ?

Anyone have side by side pictures...

The reason i ask... i have intrax front and rear... with the stock sports shocks from the EVO package...

The ride is awesome on smooth roads... on big bumps and pot holes, the suspension bottoms out... which is no fun ...

I'm thinking of getting coilovers at least on the fronts... but if all i'm getting is a matched spring / shock combo then i might just get new koni reds up front... if on the other hand coilovers actually have more travel... i'd rather do that...

Thanks in advance

white and whiter
coilovers always have full travel length for their shocks. they are shorter shocks to begin with.
