Have anyone remove or cut the front shocks bumpstops when installing coilovers? I cut mine in half and I am wondering if this is a bad idea or if it will damage the suspension in any way.

 

Someone else should chime in from a technical perspective, however I believe the bump-stops need to be left alone, as they are meant to protect from damage at any height. I've have more mechanics and Honda-techers say they should stay.

 

Each manufacturer has a different requirement. Best way to find out how much to cut is to give them a call or consult the installation instructions. You should NEVER remove the bumpstops entirely. They are the only things protecting you from a metal to metal encounter.

 

dont remove them , your supposed to cut em down a bit , iforget how much though. i think each company hads there own specs

 

That depends on your spring rate. If the front rates are stiff enough, you can lower your car more without worrying about hitting the bumpstop.

 

exactly....
