 ok im installing my progress springs and i was following rrimportracers guide, never saw that you had to cut the bump stop until i moved to where i had to do the front spring. Will it be fine or do i have to go back and cut it?

 cutting the bumpstops is recommended but not necessary. IMO, i'd cut the front bumpstops rather than the rear.

 If you're on stock struts/shocks, I would suggest leaving them alone. Cutting them with just springs runs the risk of bottoming out much harder than if there's a little more cushion. I bottomed my right front strut out with just Tanabe NF 210 springs a while back and when I went to install my TRD struts, I could see an imprint on the bottom of the bump stop plate (and a cracked bump stop) where the strut collapsed completely into it.

If you go ahead and do struts as well, THEN I would cut them in half.


Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.

 Well, i got the rear ones done. My buddies and i are taking a break for tonight, i think i may just take it into a shop and have them finish up cuz my next 3-4 days are jam packed with stuff to do. Thanks for the help btw. It took us 4 hours to do the rears and god i have never seen so much random sh!t that we ran into lol.
