I just bought some tokico illuminas...They came with bumpstops in for the rears but none for the front. Should I use the ones it came with for the back and just use the oem front bumpstops? Also I am lowered on H&R sports....should I trim the bumpstops at all?

TIA

 

IMO i would leave it alone or your shock's life will be shorten or ruined

Yes you should. The H&R's should have come with a diagram showing how much to trim. It's basically 1/2 the bumpstop, and use the top half (the wider section) to put onto the shocks.

Well my springs are sports, and it said not to cut them at all, but I read that everyone trims them??

 

Use your OEM bumpstops on the front shocks. Cut them in half.

If you don't cut them and you lower your car, you will be bottoming out much more often.

 

I put H&R race on my car with Koni yellows...i'm having a hard time remembering if i cut my bump stops...for some reason i don't think i did.

But i don't bottom out really, not even in hard turns during autocross

 

Well I just finished installing the shocks and I did cut the bumpstops in the front.
