Im on a few Cobalt forums and asked this question to 2 different ones besides this.
I just installed Eibach Sportlines on my 2.2.
Should I cut the bump stops?
I know on the manual it says to, but Ive read 50-50 answers on here and everywhere else.

Thanks.

 

i didnt cut mine and alot of people told me not to.

 

didnt cut mine, dont really think its necessary

 

i cut mine..and word of advice..don't do it

 

Thanks guys. I wont

 

I cut mine. Whats the difference if you do or dont?

 

I did cut mine and kind of wish I wouldn't have.

Thread jack question...how much do new bumpstops cost?

 

I cut mine to the preferred length and it's just fine.

 

To snip or not to snip, that is the question.

 

Why do you wish you wouldnt have?

 

You'll blow your struts out.

 

if u cut them u will?

 

You'll wear them faster.

GM put the bumpstops there for a reason.

 

great. how much new ones cost. lol

 

Are your struts blown?

 

Any more poll submissions?

 

no but still rather not

 

you should really upgrade the shock and struts when lowering in due time you blow them regaurdless, get some koni's

my ss/sc stop are cut, my ss/tc the stops are not cut, to be honest i really cant see any difference in cutting them or not.

 

It's not what you see/feel...it's how much they travel resulting in how fast they wear out as it was stated before. You won't notice a difference (except for the occasional big bump where you hit the bump stops).

I too recommend to buy struts/shocks and springs at the same time...that way you can install the springs on the struts and it makes swapping out the old and new much quicker and easier....I didn't do this, now I will have to pull everything apart when I do upgrade.

 

yeah is a lil more money up front but they are and upgrade, and if you do them at the same time you save time and money depending if you put them im your self or not, and they will last longer than your stockers, and if you do koni's they have a life time warranty for being rebuilt, thats a win win in my book

 

You won't feel a difference unless you go over something big, and in that case it keeps the strut from bottoming out.

Of course you won't feel it.

Can you feel the wear of anything else really?
