    You can remove it. I removed mine when I changed shocks to Motons.

    At high speeds...over 100, they're waaaay better, but if you're just cruising around town with spurts of spirited driving, then putting H&R Springs on the stock dampers is a pretty good improvement already.

    Does removal of the bulb require lots of disassembly of the dash? Or is it fairly easy?

    remove a couple of screws and pull the dash pod forward and pull the bulb. I think the Motons are way better at slow and high speed. The ride feels better than stock and handling is much improved with infinite adjustment. I live in Wisconsin where there are 10 pot holes on every block yet the ride is excellent, even with the car lowered.

    Two screws from below the dash pod as previously mentioned. Quite easy really. I did it to replace a speedo bulb green shield that came loose. I just put the green cover back over the bulb and used a tiny bit of super glue to hold it in place.
