Bump stops
« on: July 30, 2012, 10:31:34 pm »
Will be fitting a set of H&R race springs ( lowers by 1.75 to 2.5 inches) on wed but was wondering how far to cut the bump stops down on the front and rear. standard struts will be used for now......  sorry if this has been covered a trillion times before

1st of thanks for the reply

I have been told its a requirment to give the strut more travel to stop it bottoming out so to speak. more so on the rear or fit shorter stops.
Most forums i have searched seem to be split 50/50 on the subject.

would just like a definative answer on it
