Exactly what the title says.... how many inches do i take off the bumpstops?

 

Please try a search. There are many threads on this topic.

Eibach springs come with instructions that tell you how to much to cut. Pro-kits, for instance, specifically say NOT to cut the stops. If you don't have instructions, call Eibach. Don't cut anything without knowing exactly.

 

For the future.. please use the search.. I happen to have my Sportlines sitting 2 feet away from me, so I can tell you right now.
But, in general, there are threads made every week about this, so it's really not hard to find out.

Sportlines advise to remove 30mm off the bottom of the fronts, and 13mm off the bottom of the backs.

 

i have my installed ..... and i did not cut bumpstops out.....i dont think there is need to do it

in my opinion cuting them can hurt shocks ***my opinion that is***

 

dont listen to them search button fanboys...... and if you dont cut the them you will hammer the bumpstops over every bump and that dosent feel good so the more you cut the better.

 

Wow. That is one of the most irresponsible posts I've seen a long time. Advising somebody to just cut away after we gave them the exact information they needed. Way to go.

This topic is getting beat up a lot lately. So this will be my next sticky topic.

 

Had my sportlines for almost 2 years now and never cut the bumpstops. You don't need to cut them.

 

heres some info about bumpstops...

Thats a much better post. But after reading it, it also says how cutting the stop needs to be very specific. And the Miata setup is significantly different from the Cobalt.

 

13mm off the rear and 30mm off the front..


i installed them tonight... they look GREAT!@!

 

No offense intended.. but for the safety of other peoples property, I hope no one ever listens to your advice...
Telling someone to cut off as much as they want from the bump stops is like saying they don't have a use in the first place. If they didn't have a use, they would have never been made at all. If you cut off to much, you risk bottoming out your shocks, and that's never a good thing. No sense in having to buy new shocks before you normally would have to.

Glad you decided to do it the right way, and good to hear you like them
