Yes you have to cut the bumpstops in 1/2. You are lowering your car. Less shock travel. Cutting the bumpstop in half gives you more shock travel.

Where are the pictures we have been requesting?

 

ive been really busy at home....i might put the bumpstops on tomm...

 

sent you a picture of the spring trevor...thanks!

 

Yea you deff do or else your gonna go threw your strut tower.

 

i put the bumpstops this weekend and it rides better than before...bumpstop deff helped out a whole lot...

 

The bumpstop just stops the shaft from slamming all the way into the shock when you hit a pothole, it can also be used as sort of a helper spring to control travel. What most people describe as "bottoming out" is actually the upper A arm hitting the frame on the shock mount area.

Bumpstops also have the side-effect of reducing available shock travel, as it's protecting the shock from completely compressing. That's one reason why some choose to cut them in half. I choose to ride without them, instead opting for extended top hats. Bumstops would be sort of counterproductive in my opinion.

If you're going to ride around with your wheel/fender gap at or around 1 finger, you'll need suitable spring rates. Nothing less than 400 lb/in will do, or you will clunk every once in a while on rough roads, potholes, train tracks, etc.

 

well the rears are 200 according to GC its 200 in the rears..i forgot front and rears were different so i didnt check but i will try today...
