Default skunk2 race springs

do you have to cut the bumpstops?. i heard some people have cut them 1/3 or half off so the shocks have room to travel so it's not bouncy.

i get off work when skunk2 closes so i cant really call them.

Call from work...?

You should probably cut 1/4 off the bumpstops or more, depending how much your lowered.

And if your car is too bouncy, it has nothing to do with the bumpstops.

Again, depends on how low you are I think. To get a specific answer, I would call Skunk2, but if your aiming for 2+ inches of lowering, I would cut off half of the
(OEM) bumpstop.

this is a guy just under my girls account. I just installed my skunk 2 rear coilovers and I cut the back bump stops half off and it doesnt make a difference. Its bouncy, more in the back then in the front. I think the best thing to do is buy performance shocks. Thats my next step to hopefully stop the bounching.
