installed some used eibach sportlines with new tokico whites on my friends 6th gen accord. when he hits a bump, the car makes a "THumP!" sound. is this caused by not cutting the stock bump stop?
we made sure all bolts and nuts were tighten and back in its normal place.

is it a progress spring?

because my h&R race was pretty noise even with the bumpstop cutted in half.

well, there's one way to tell, tie a piece of ziptie on the piston shaft of the damper and see where the thing would be after the trip

I used have eibach and it came with the instructment to for trimming the bump stop

 

eibach sportline

i know, is it progressive spring?

 

both prokit and sportline springs are progressive rate springs.

 

Ok first of all... why did you not cut the stock bumpstops?

 

i have the h&r sports, very noisy here as well with agx's set to 1front - 4rear,,,

Eibach's stuff is way better than H&R imho, but the vdubs dudes are swore by H&R
