Default Koni yellow and H&R sports install... cut bumpstops?

Is it needed? Car is a 97 HB.

If needed, how much?

After you get your springs, it will tell you not to cut your bump stops.

Atleast thats what they said in the instructions when i got my H&R race springs.

Sorry, guess I didn't make myself clear.

I am using new Konis and a used set of H&R sports with no instructions. Hoping to do the install this weekend.

I have read in my search that H&R advises not cutting the bumpstops, but that doesn't make sense to me. I am leaning towards cutting them in half as is the genaral wisdom that I could gather from the posts I've read. Anyone have a good reason for me not to cut them?

No, you should not need to cut them at that ride height...I ride on my Sprint sport springs (2" drop) and KYB AGX's with the full stock bumpstops. If you were slammed on coilover sleeves...then you'd want to cut the bumpstops in half.
