need pic or diagram showing bump stops!

I installed my springs the other day, and I didn't know what the bump stop was, so I didn't trim it. Now I need to. Anyone got a pic or diagram? Thanks!

depending on what springs you got, you DO need to trim the front...I got Eibach Sportlines and it specifically stated to trim the front and rear bumps stops 20mm each...

sorry to hear you have to do a uninstall and re-install...that blows...

Why do you have to trim?

how do you trim the front? cause all i remember was this big black thing that went over the shock, i think thats the bumpstop on the front but dont think there was a way to trim it..
you trim it to prevent the shocks from bottoming out... gives the shocks more travel...

so for the front, do you just pull that black rubber thing off and then the bump stops are under there?

Edit: I spelled "front" "frunt". What an a$$ I am.
