Agreeing. I cut mine i think past the second dimple in the stop

Didn't touch mine, but my car may be an exception. Better safe than sorry

I am thinking about getting the Tein S springs. Is there something I have to cut or does this apply only if you are installing the Tein Shocks?

No, if you install lowering springs on your stock shocks you must trim the stock bumper stops per the manufactures recommendations. Otherwise your are loosing downward shock travel distance.

Anyone have a pic of what and how these bump stops look like when trimmed? What is the best method or tool to trim these? I ran Eiback pros and never trimmed the bump stops. height was lowered 1.3" front and 1" rear. ???? Rode well_ Hmm

See Page 10 of attached file. http://www.ecanfix.com/users/manualc...front_susp.pdf It is refereed to as "Bump rubber". It can be easily trimmed with a sharp knife.
