I have an SH. But is it safe to take the rubber stopper off at the top.

Thanks

I think mine is hella bouncy b/c i forgot to cut the rubber bumpstops. Hope it doesn't do anything bad to my car. But the height problem is REALLY buggin me

. I need to do something about that. I was running on stock shocks for a long time, and it was good even though they were blown. I was sitting flush all the way around with the blown stockers. What bothered me the most with the stockers are that they made my camber really bad cuz they sat so low. But now, my problem is height. Is the b/c of the bumpstops?

i just installed my prokits on my lude SH with stock shocks, the front is FAR lower than the rear for me. i can fit two or three in the rear and maybe 1 max in the front. i duno if my shocks are blown or not tho.

Had Prokit on Base SS and switched to Neuspeed Sport. Both times I used Koni "yellow" Sport shocks. My data tells me that the car's ride height is even at all 4 jack points (more or less). The springs are specific for front and rear. Perch position is front-upper and rear-middle. Adjusting the dampening should have little or no effect on ride height. For those with Prokit or Neuspeed-note that there is a difference up front from side to side. The springs appear to have been designed without considering the unbalanced weight distribution of the Base 5sp and Base SS. Those with SH will have more weight on the right front due to the ATTS which the rest of us do not have.
I have yet to see any settling of the suspension with the Sport springs and the Prokit did not do it either. Not cutting the bumpstops with the Eibach springs is not really a good thing. Each manufacturer has there own idea on this and designs accordingly. My rears are cut in half and the fronts are uncut for the Neuspeed. The Prokit-we cut them in half up front. For those with uncut bumpstops it is possible to be riding on them all the time and that will not allow the shocks to function normally.
I have yet to have my Koni shocks give me anything but a very firm ride minimum and as I increase it the ride stiffens nicely. The AGX shock should work the same.
