#3210, "Cutting Bumpstops more than in half???"


          

Hey guys, I have KYB AGXs and Progress springs sitting in boxes in my house - my question is should I just cut the bumpstops more so that I gain a little extra travel??? THnaks for the help.

i would go with cutting a lil at a time to find out what works best. it might be a bitch taking it in and out but you'll eventually find what you like.

Mine are cut in half and I still hit the bump stops sometimes. Should I cut them more?
