Hi, I was just wondering if it was necessary to cut the bumpstops when installing new springs and shocks? Also, if I should do it, but don't, what will end up happening?

On the Neuspeed/Koni set-up you need to cut the rears an inch and a half.

You should be fine by cutting the bumpstops in half. Chceck the directions first or call the manufacturer

I just installed my Ground Controls and I was trying to "slam" my car just for pics. I have them threaded all the way down and my tires are just flush with the fenders in the front. I have my bump stops cut in half right now. Do you guys think I am riding on the bumps and thats why I cant go any lower? It seems to me liek I should be lower than that with them threaded all the way down! Who here is lowered more than like 2-3 inches? What did you guys do? Should I just cut another notch off of my bump stops?
