I will be cutting the bump stops 2 inches.

Coming from skunk2 directly.

Maaaan...so much for a complete remove and replace. Sucks that now we gotta cut the bump stoppers. Hopefully they'll revise that..

 

[Asteezy88]

Where are these located? I've haven't gone to install mine yet but from the DIYs I haven't noticed these anywhere

 

[Jonathong]

like this - but find out how much skunk wants you to cut them....

This is what the bump stop looks like and it's located when you disassemble your top hat to put your new springs in. It's not that big of a deal if I knew you were supposed to cut it when I was installing it I would've done it already

Do you know if it'll cause any problems if you cut it?

This issue is very frustrating!! Now i have to take it back to he shop and tell em to cut the bump stop. And pay even more!!

 

[Jonathong]

I posted the email as soon as I received it but I think at that time you were already at the shop getting it installed and they shouldn't charge you much. They just need to remove the fronts, remove the top hat and take out the bump stop to cut then put it all back together then it's done.

just ordered them! so my question is do we cut the rubber on the front only? or the backs too?

Just the front is what I'm gonna do since the rear is already pretty low lol

did skunk 2 say only fronts?

 

[raf]

but then again youre 2013 i wonder if i have to do that for my '12 since skunk 2 says 2012 civic si springs it may be different?

 

[Jonathong]

They are all the same springs I mean you don't have to take my word for it, you can install it and see if you still want to cut em or not

Ordered my Skunk2 lowering springs yesterday! I can't wait to see how they look on my car

 

[deveinonmystick]

I took my car back to the shop where I got my springs installed and I told them about the issue. I asked if they could cut the bump stop and they said that it wasnt recommended. They told me to give it a couple of weeks to let it settle some more and if I wasnt satisfied they would cut if I still wanted them to. Im gonna wait and see what happens. I think skunk2 messed up and they should be resposible and do somethin to take care of those who bought these spring.

I think it's not skunk2s fault cause my buddy has eibachs on his and in the instructions it says to cut the bump stops 40mm maybe it's the way our car is designed.

 

[deveinonmystick]

Well it would have been nice to have gotten instructions at least

 

[Jonathong]

^^I agree, but you can't beat the price for the drop you get ya know.

 

[raf]

should be gettin mines in a few! im pumped

 

[WhiteNinja]

So what's wrong with the skunk2's? And what's up with having to cut the bumps? It's not just install springs? You have to cut sh** too? :/
