Do I need to cut the front strut bumpstops when installing SWIFT springs?
I am going to be installing a set of springs today. Do I need to modify the bump stops so I am not bottoming out prematurely? I know some cars require that you cut them in sections or in half etc... I searched and I have no clue whether I should leave them alone of cut them.

Please let me know if you have any info. I did not find any with the Swift spring instructions for the EVO X.

I called Swift. They said no as well.

Hope this helps someone in the future.
