Default Who owns adjustable shocks....are your running bumpstops or not?

Just wondering at the moment...

tryin to solve this manily bumpy (even on smooth ride then thing juss has this very minmal shake bascially bumpyness) but stiff ride I am expericing with my 1998 Honda Civic EX 4-door...

See the suspension setup is as follows:

SRR Lowering Springs (1.8 front and rear)
Koni Red shocks set to medium or turned a total of twice of the max of 3, for both front and rear

Now my question is this, those who have adjustable shocks or even Koni's for that matter, do you guys still run the bumpstops trim them in half or not run them at all????

At the moment from what I remember when the shocks and springs were installed I think my bumpstops were not cut well actually the rear was not cut...

so could not cuttin my rear bumpstops in the rear cause my car to ride hella bumpy...?????

Having or not having bump stops shouldn't affect ride. If I'm thinking correctly the bump stops are in place for when you bottom out. They will offer a small amount of cushioning when you bottom out. In normal driving the suspension doesn't compress enough to hit the bump stops, unless you've got major tonnage on board.
