do i need to cut the bumpstops when installing neuseed race?? and will i need a spring compressor when installing? thanks

 

its up to u if u want to cut the bumpstops.. i have a 99 civic ex and i didnt cut them on my stock shocks... which lasted about a month on the neuspeed race springs... when i swapped out my stock shocks for koni yellows i was able to compress my stock shocks by hand ... imo cutting your bump stops will increase shock travel but decrease shock life... fyi i contacted neuspeed to find out my spring rates and for a 99 civic neuspeed race its 495F and 365R so unless u have upgraded shocks... dont plan on having them last very long HTH

 

yeah i have stock shocks for now. if i decide to roll on stock shocks should i leave the bumpstops alone? and i shouldnt need a spring compressor right?? thank

 

nope you wont need a spring compressor

 

nope the neuspeed race springs are pretty short... on the rears they fit in without needing to be compressed at at all... the fronts i just had a friend compress it with his hand while i tightened the bolt... gl HTH
