ok just got my sportline kit today, and it says you have to trim the rear bumpstops. why is this??? do i really have to take out the shock and do this? i saw on 8thgen, there was a debate on doing it and not doing it. what should i do?? is it really necessary

 

So you have some strut travel. Cut 1/4 to 1/2 of the bumpstop. If you don't trust the instructions or my advice find out what happens after you take it out on the road. lol

Follow the instructions they are there for a reason. Eibach is a trusted brand, they would not have you cut something on your car if it was not necessary.

 

i didn't

 

If you dont cut the bumpstops wont the car now lower as much?

 

i didnt cut my bumpstops on my EF....
they recommend cutting bumpstops so you have shock travel.

if you don't cut your bumpstops, in some cases you'll be riding on them.

 

I just put eibach sportlines on my SI i cut the front bump stops like it said but i didn't cut the rear 1's because you have to drill something but i can always do it some other time. They need to be cut because its lower and they need some more travel so yea i would rec cutting them like it says the drop looks amazing it rides like stock but turns are so easy now its not even funny

 

I've had a box of sportlines sitting on my couch for god knows how long all because I am too lazy to get out there one day and cut them.

 

i just dont understand why with other springs you dont have to cut anything. like the 2.0 inch drop with the neuspeeds. whys that

no... a bump stops one and only job is to keep the strut from bottoming out. it acts a cushion if the strut compresses to far.. it has NO effect on height.

 

so is it really 100% necessary
