Default Spoon springs --- w/ Koni yellow

I installed these a couple of days ago. I got to thinking about it. The rears came with new bumpstops (the non externally adjustable ones) and i used the new ones. The fronts did not so i re-used the stock bumpstops from the stock damper. I was reading around and some people had mentioned that it is a good idea to cut the bumpstops a little for more suspension travel. Is this the case for me? If the answer is yet i can take them out again (i have access to power tools) and re-do the job and cut the front bumstops a little. Shed all the light on the subject as possible

When I bought eibach prokits for my gsr, a paper came with the springs explaining how much to cut the bumpstop for my application. Did you recieve any such instructions with your springs?

BTW, it is a good idea to cut the bumpstops because you dont want to be bouncing off them all day long.

The instructions that came with the Koni shocks absolutely SUCKED. Their pictures were horrible and there were no directions really to read from. Mostly pictures and they were horrible like i said. Oh well i guess you get that kind of thing when you pay $500+ for a set of adjustable shocks.

IM George Knighton, he has your EXACT setup and had some minor issues when he had them installed.
