installing tanabe gf210.... cut bumpstop?
i've read a little and saw that some people cut the bumpstops with the tanabe gf210's and some people didn't cut the bump stop?

idk what to do... any suggestions?

Install, drive around, see if they hit, then cut if needed.

I thought these come with instructions on how much to cut off and where to cut. I guess I will find out as I plan to order these as soon as I get some extra money. I also have a second set of stock bump stops lined up so I can cut one set and keep one set if I ever go back to stock.

you would probably have to cut about 1/4 inch or less than a 1/2 inch off from the top of the bump stop. ONLY cut if the instructions tell you to do so. you can also call tanabe for help.
