after careful evaluation, I just don't feel comfortable running a one way coilover set up at it's lowest drop setting resulting in minimal strut rod travel.
Megan Racing LP series.........i cant conplain on the ride and as for lowness i guaruntee they go lower than any other coils on the market.

If your car still feel like stock and have no funny feeling, then you are fine. You know it is bottoming out if the suspension hit something solid when it compressed. It is not a nice feeling, you would know it.

If your car feel fine, then it is not necessary, simple as that

good looks just wondering because seen people do it plus in my paper guide it shows to cut the bump stops and it says some cars they send the bump stop depending on the vehicle ....so i figured should i do it because on the instructions say to... or leave it because i don't really want to look in to cutting the stock bump stop ???
