I just got my new shocks/struts yesterday and got them all put in. I love the ride but sometimes on some real sharp like cracks in the road they just hit so hard that u can tell the shock had to be all the way compressed. My question is was I supposed to put my stock bumpstops back in? It didnt say anything about it in the instructions that came with them. Thanks for the help.

 

YES ! lol put the stock ones back in right now

 

arent you supposed to cut them down some?

 

I got kyb agx's and I didnt put in the bumpstops. No problems yet Just change th setting to a harder one

 

Thats what i did but im running 2 in the front and 3 in the back and still it ****** hits hard some times but I gues ill have to tear it apart tommorow I already have them cut down from when i jsut had the coilovers in. god damn lol Im gonna write a letter to KYB about this thats for sure.

 

You need to cut them in about 1/2. That is what the instructions said that came with mine.

 

I put the stocks back in cut down 1/2 and man does it ride 100% better. thanks for the help

 

i have KYB AGX and prokit springs, i used a complete energy suspension strut kit when i installed mine. energy supplies lowered bump stops, as in they are half the size of stock, plus they are polyurethane.

KYB AGX and H&R Sport springs on a 4th gen. I was told to not cut the bumpstops.

 

I've got the same above setup and didnt cut mine .. the ride is fine.. *shrug* a bit rough on 2+and bouncey as hell on 1-2 .. but didn't see a need to cut the bumpstops (actually when I had it all apart i didnt know i had to .. )

 

If you're lowered more than 1.5", then cut the bumpstops in half. It'll give you an extra inch or so of strut travel. Riding on bumpstops isn't fun. Your kidneys and spine will thank you later.

 

i had prokit/agx combo on the lude.... i remember cutting the bumpstop.

By who? It says right in the H&R instructions to trim the bumpstops.

I took the last ring off the top of all 4 of my bumpstops (H&R sports, AGX's). An extra 3/4" of suspension travel, and still plenty of stop to protect the shocks.
