I went to install my eibach pro-kit today in my 2000 accord and its not a very big drop but,the directions in the box(which i didn't read until i threw the box away) stated that i should trim the bumpstops. I don't mind taking them back out to do so,but,does this really need to be done?? anyone else on here who's done this already??

 

iirc, for a small drop <1.5"... you souldnt need to cut the stops

edit: nevermind.

 

The bump stops should be cut with that kit, else under hard cornering large bumps you could hit the OE bump stop.

I had mine trimmed when my prokits got installed, and if I recall the rear stop fits funner after that.

 

I haven't trimmed them yet. the back isn't a problem,its the front that i don't want to cut. the front bumpstop and boot are one piece. the bumpstop is on top and the boot on the bottom. I was told to cut the bottom half of the bumpstop and the boot off. reason being, The top section(bumpstop) has a smaller hole to fit tightly over the struts piston and holds it in place. I don't want to cut the boot off because the shock will be exposed water/dirt,ect. If i just left the lower section with the boot on,it would lay all the way at the bottom,exposing the piston above it. so,either way,its not going to work.

 

I had the top cut, then my suspension guy zip tied the boot in place I think, worked fine for the 6years I've had them on the car
