However, it says not to trim the bumpstops, but I have searched on here and lots of people have.

it said the same thing for the accord. i didn't cut the bumpstop. some ppl say cut them if you want more shock travel and i heard don't cut them because the springs work with bumpstop.

did you get aftermarket shocks/struts?

your car won't sit lower. the springs determine how low your car sits, but if u cut your bump stops if you go over a big bump when the car bounces the shocks will allow your car to go further when it comes down, now if you had like a 2.5 inch drop or lower and u kept the bump stops whole, you would prolly bottom out your shocks so you would need to cut them to allow the shocks to travel further down

They are still OEM shocks, I have Koni's coming but it will be awhile, just tired of looking at a huge wheel gap!

Well I will leave them for now and see how it goes.

Thanks
