Ground Controls..... Have to cut the bumpstops?

I haven't gotten my ground controls yet, so I haven't seen the instructions, but Honda Tunings install of Eibach Springs makes no mention of cutting the front and/or rear bumpstops.

For Ground Control Coilovers and Koni yellows do you have to cut and of the bump stops?

i'm thinking it all depends on how much you plan on dropping and raising your car if your not doing it too low then you dont have to but 3" for sure you will have too.

In the new issue (sept. 2002) of HCI, they have a DIY for installing the Ground Controls on a 2k1 Vic. It shows them cutting the bumpstops. I'm going to scan the pages and post it as a DIY as soon as I get some free time.

HCI = Hot Compact and Imports

I dunno what HCI is. None of the magazines I know of begin with an H except for Honda Tuning, but HIC wouldn't make sense for that magazine.
