Default question about bumpstops

i've currently removed the bumpstops in the front and cut the bumpstops in half in the back. I was wondering by doin this would be give me a smoother ride? By removing them (and cutting them in half) would it damage my shocks?

2000 honda civic hx on GC wrapoed around kyb agx. lowered about 2 inches back and front

Put them back on... When I did my suspension the first time I forgot to put them back ... and It would hit really hard when my suspension bottomed out...

Also... your shocks will blow without them...


BTW what are you doing with a pic of my girl on your avatar???

cutting is fine.

if you completely remove them you will ruin your shocks.
trust me!!

you will hit a bump eventually that will bottom you out, and you'll hear it. when you hear that loud CLANG, thats your car.. smashing into your shock.

have fun
