Question about Eibach installation

Just ordered my Eibach springs. Do I have to cut the bump stops 1 inch as pfadt instructions say we have to? Appreciate any advice, thanks!

I had the same question before I installed mine. I called Eibach directly, they said it was not necessary for the 1.0 kit. They also told me they were in thr process of making new struts. If in the event I replace my struts with new Eibach struts, I would have to cut the bump stops. Hope this helps

i am cutting mine 1" when i install them, might as well do it when they are apart, it wont hurt anything and it will guarantee that you wont bottom out on them
