I searched this but cant find a direct answer, I just purchased some Neuspeed Sports and Koni Reds for my 96. The instructions say dont cut the bumpstops, however, I've read many posts of people agreeing and disagreeing about this, I'd like to do it right the first time so which is it?

 

dont cut them

dismantle stock shock, and put parts that you took off stock onto new one and reassamble.

very simple.

 

Another debate rages on, with Neuspeed Sports, I would encourage you to cut them. Basically, it will allow for more suspension travel if you cut about an inch off of the bottom of each bumpstop. Your ride may be more bouncy if you leave the bumpstops that length, and I think the Konis will be able to handle the extra travel. If you don't cut them, you may want to make sure the Konis are set to a firm setting, I think the Reds are three way adjustable while off of the car by pushing on the piston and turning right.

 

Follow the directions from Neuspeed. I know on my Eibach Pro Kits the directions say to cut the front bump stops only.
