i just ordered mine the other day from a member on here and was wondering how you all installed them. well more importantly i was wondering did you all cut your bump stops or anything. is there anything in the installation process that i should be aware of with these springs?

 

i heard the ride quality is shitty as hell if you dont cut the bumps.. but then again the tenzo's have an extreme drop, so expect the worst

 

weird, i heard from a member on here that his ride quality was tons better than stock.... i just want to know before they go on if anyone who has these cut their bump stops. ive read that you should never cut them, and then ive read that you should on some occasions. anyone know for sure?

 

bump anyone??

 

buy struts ASAP. you will hate the ride until you do, i would cut them in half. its about teh same drop as sportlines.

 

im not worried about struts right now, i just want to know if i need to cut the bump stops or not before i put these on

 

you will be worried about the struts

cut the bump stops

 

Do not remove the bump stops completley...I'd leave part of them in there, if not, the whole thing. Bump stops are necessary for proper handling. By cutting the bumpstops you increase the imapact loads on the chassis when the suspension bottoms. That's what I've been told by numerous suspension shops, when I lowered my other cars...

 

You want the bump stops to hit when the suspension is under complete load, or when the wheel is at its maximum height. When you drop it it hits that maximum faster so you cut your stops.

I dont know how big they are, but I would cut them however much your drop is supposed to be.

 

wat i reccommend and i have about 17k on my sportlines and stock struts and no issue's at all..dont cut the rear bump stops at all,and cut the front about 1/2"(1 layer)..i dont bottom out or anything and ride quility is really good,even when i have a full car

 

I just got the same springs. I says it's only a 1'' fornt and 1.3" rear drop on the SS/SC

 

there's a sticky or thread about this somewhere...you only cut the bump stops if the spring instructions tell you to

and I thought Tenzo R's only dropped it 1" and 1.3" on an SS/SC and a SS/NA as well?
