Did Anyone Cut Bumpstops Using H&r Springs?

I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE CUT THEIR BUMPSTOPS WHEN THEY INSTALLED THEIR H&R SPRINGS. i CALLED H&R AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO CUT THEM BUT I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE.

no its not necessary to cut them. when my friend installed my sportlines on my zx3 the instructions said you need to cut them. when they were in we both agreed that we didnt need to cut them and i had absoulty no problems with them.

If your cars not bottoming out then I would suggest not cutting the bumpstop, why cut it if it's handling fine?

By cutting the bumpstops down you'll gain a little more travel before the suspension bottoms out, as I suggested to 1fastcobalt, I wouldn't cut them if the cars not bottoming out.
