Where to cut bump stops. 2" drop

RotaryRyan · Nov 18th, 2004, 10:23 PM

Man. Searching is a workout!

I gathered from searching that when i do my 2" drop springs i should cut the bump stops in half. Is this right for 2" drop?

Also, do i cut the front and back?

The bump stops have 'donuts'. For 1.5 inch drop removing 1 is enough (that's what I did with my Prokits). For a 2" drop, remove 2 of them.

It would be better to get the Koni bump stops, though.

If your purchasing the eibach springs they list how much to remove in the instructions.

They are part of the boot, you should be able to tell what they are/look like.

They are easy to spot. they are corrugated rubber boots which sit on top of the shock. I used a hack saw to cut mine.
