I'm going to install some Tien Springs on my S2K. Since it's only a 1" drop, can someone tell me if the stock bumpstop needs to be cut in half?

 

i didnt cut my bumpstops at all on espelirs.

and imo, i wouldn't they are there for a reason.

 

no, you do not cut the bumpstops.

 

The directions clearly states it needs to be cut but im not sure how much.

 

consider it personal preference then, i wouldn't cut the bumpstops on the oem shocks, showa/honda has them there for a reason

 

If you cut those bump stops will the car be lower?

 

no need

 

If you lower on stock shocks and cut the bump stops, you stand a good chance of blowing the shocks if you bottom out. The bump stops prevent the shocks from bottoming out.

Lowering on stock shocks is problematic for that very reason. Essentially you've lost a full inch of suspension travel.

 

nope. same height.
