Question Anyone w/Neuspeed sports on a sedan??

Just wondering if anyone has installed neuspeed sports spring on a sedan. Mine didn't come with a set of instruction. Do I have to do anything with the bump stop?
thanks

ive got them on mine




i did not cut or trim mine due to the information sheet from NEUSPEED (see below)

















ATTENTION
Do not cut, trim or modify factory bump-stop cushion unless noted below. NEUSPEED spring sets are engineered using factory bump-stops! If you use any aftermarket shocks, you must use the stock factory bump-stops!

EXCEPTIONS

Honda Civic 2-door coupe 2001-up only: trim rear bump-stops 1.25"

Honda Prelude 1997-up: trim rear bump-stop 1.25"

Acura CL V6 1997-up: trim rear bump-stop 1.0"

Acura TSX 2004: trim rear bump-stops at first rib from bottom .5"

I agree with Falken however after reading the instructions from Tokico blue shocks it said this:

1. Do not remove or operate your vehicle without bumpstops. If you need extra suspension travel, please shorten your bumpstops. A good guideline is 1/3" or 1/2" (maximum) of the bumpstop length.

2. Do not lower your vehicle too far. It will give you a harsh ride and can damage shocks and other suspension parts. It can also make alignment difficult to impossible.

3. Avoid lowering in areas where severe rough roads are common.

Hope this info also helps...

I love the stance of my car with race springs, less then one finger gap in front, no gap in back do to heavy sound system in trunk. (on stock rims 185/65/15)

Why would you need to trim the bump stops?
