Im this close to going back to stock cause of the suspension:spin: im thinking about doing mine. not sure if i feel like bothering but DAMN!!! is it teeth shattering wheni slam into it. ugh!! im just lazy to take the fronts off again. prob going to order racecomps smaller stiffer bump stop vs cut the one already in there as i do hit some nasty pot holes from time to time.

rnstein69 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 yeah, I trimmed mine down by about half of what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 sounds like the springs you guys have are not stiff enough to account for the lowering they give you. a proper spring would not allow you to hit the bump stop 99% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have much wheel gap becuase I run tires that are 1" larger in diameter then stock. Robs car was slammed (the grey one behind me at the auto X) i have to hit nasty pot holes to bottom out normal stuff it never happens. or when they pave a road and leave a 2" lip. woah!! that is nasty.

I trimmed mine more as a preventative thing. I have just about zero wheel gap the way that my coilovers are adjusted now. I bottom out on rare occasions, but when I do it is not pleasant.
