    Bump Stops

    06-20-2012 11:37 PM #1
    So who's still got them in?

    Wondering if I should take them out. I'm pretty sure they are holding my rear up.

    Want to know if people have had any negative effects taking them out ( i.e. premature wear...)

    Halved them.

But blessed is he who in the name of disparity overwhelmeth the exotic in the valley of the s-bends.

    Mine are cut almost completely. I just left there a bit to hold the dust cover. They are not limiting the drop.

    I cut mine flush with the mount (without taking the tires off BTW) but I think now I'm going to see if I can go without them completely depending if my e level sensors can handle the lowness
