Just did an S-Tech install with the help of another forum member, per his suggestion I just left the bump stops off. Any harm in doing this? I searched and it seemed the general consensus was just to leave them on and not even trim them.

Should this be something for me to do this weekend (put them back on?) Or should I worry about it? I realize they don't affect the ride height but prevent the shock from wacking anything and bottoming out.

 

under no condition that you should run your damper without the bumpstop

that little piece of polyurethane foam is the last insurance you have to protect the expense damper.

All you need to send the damper to hell is one bump, the internal gut smaching itself will be enough set it leaking, esp when you are running with shorten suspension travel

the installer/fellow member obvious is not an expert at this, you need to trim it slightly(eibach actually have a diagram for this), but even running full length bumpstop is better than running none.

 

All it took was 60+ views for a simple answer haha.

Appreciated. The install guide has .2 inches being trimmed off the bottom of the front and the rear left untouched. I'll be installing them shortly.
