Cutting bump stops
Hi All

I purchased set of eibach pro kit springs and was wondering do you need to trim bump stops?

would this be enough for front?

with a mild drop like that, I would leave it alone and not cut the bump stop.

Refer to Eibach instructions here: http://www.partsgeek.com/assets/perf/full/1402920.pdf

Trim the rear slightly, remove the metal cup from the front.

Metal cup?
I did trim all round, have done with old cars.
Do stock struts bottom out if they not cut?
