Rep Power: 0 Once you take it apart you'll see, you can't trim the front bumpstops as they are integrated into the rubber boot. As far as the rear goes, I cut an inch off mine with my H&R's (roughly 1.4" drop). Just leave enough on there to save you if you bottom out. Peace

Rep Power: 0 bro i had skunk2 coilovers and i forgot to cut the bumpstops after i put everything back on the car w/ the new suspension and their is like no drop at all...so i took it back apart and you have to cut it at least in 1/2 use the bigger wider part for the shock!

Rep Power: 0 I have goldlines, and didn't trim them. I have been very very careful while driving, but I still need to trim them. I can feel it. Especially in the front.
