Lowering And Bump Stops

[Toddski]

Hi All,

 

In the process of putting new KYB Excel-G shocks and Lovells Sport Lows (a 25-40mm drop) springs in to my AE82 Twinky. Bought new Monroe Strut Mate kits for each corner to put new bump stops in. My question is, with the Lovells dropping the car down, do I need to cut the bump stops down? If so, how much by, and what will happen if I don't?

 

Cheers,

Todd

I've got a different setup, but similarly the car's dropped. I did cut mine to bout half i guess, and that was on the recommendation of the guy who sold me the gear, if you don't you might get more frequent bottoming out since the springs won't have as much travel. Ideally you could try not cutting them and then shorten them if required but it's a fair bit of extra time n effort so i just did it straight up, no complaints here so far.

So i guess my vote is, cut them down, but you'll do what u want and best of luck with whatever that may be!
