i have had this setup on my 00 Si for quite some time now, and there has always been creaking. So i have finally decided to go back and fix some things. Does anyone know if youre supposed to cut the bumpstops on these shocks? Also, i reused the rubber tophat from my stock shock, so should i install the new one that comes with the shock? i think that could be the reason for the creaks. Maybe i over tightened the bolt on the strut?

 

im sorry i cant answer your question but heres a bump for ya

the manual that came with my sportlines says to cut the bumpstop 35mm front and backs. how do you like the combo other than the obvious creaking?

 

i'm not a big fan of tokico blues

 

i've had them blow on me within a couple months, and i ride on sportlines too

 

I have had my setup for a considerable amount of time, about 9 months to a year. Thus far i havent had any problems with them, but they could be stiffer. I drive the car a lot, so i just wanted something nonadjustable.

 

i think you cut the bumpstops about 35mm,call eibach and ask

 

yea b18bcivic is right it's 35mm

 

thanks for the help guys. do you think the bumpstop is cauing the creaking, or maybe something else?

 

maybe it's cause their new?
