I need your help. A while ago I installed them with tokico illumina adjustable struts, and it seems like the front end bottoms out over normal bumpy conditions. I lowered it a little under 2", so I know that's not too much. I cut the bumpstops in half and everything. Could someone help me figure out what the hell is going on?

Raise the car up and check if your spring is centered on the sleeve. You might have to rotate the spring to have it centered. Lower the car slowly and watch it as it goes down. It should then be centered and your problem resolved. I had something similar happen like that to me when I first got it installed. It wasn't really bottoming out, but I could hear metal to metal contact. If not, try adjusting your shocks to the highest level. Your bump stop up front should be 1/3 removed not 1/2.
