so with seeing posts here and there saying their instructions told them not or their instructions told them to....who cut the bumpstops? i know what the reccomended amounts are just seeing who has/hasnt

 

i cut mine. there is not much travel between the bumpstop and base at all when lowered. at least with my SSC springs. i checked after.


note-this was on a 2.2 when i had stock struts.

 

i cut mine, and always cut them on other members cars.

 

its pretty easy. just cut to like where there is an indent on the bumpstop

 

i am sitting lower than any of you, on coilovers, and i didn't cut anything. Never hit the bumpstops, never had an issue, and thats even after hitting expansion joints at like 90mph on the freeway, and i've hit some nasty potholes, as well as some speedbumps i didn't see in time to slow down for..

 

You cut the recommended amount right?

 

Now finally someone said something that makes sense. All this bump stop cutting is goofy

 

i take it you dont cut them?

 

Mine weren't cut and I haven't had any problems.

 

When mine got installed (eibach sportlines) the bump stops were not cut. 1k miles later no problems with noise or weird suspension issues.

 

i have 40 k miles and they survived stock ss springs, cut ss springs and now eibach springs. cutting bump stops does not make sense given the amount of travel there...
