its the hole closest to the engine (on mine)

only one hole works!

 

Thanks! I thought the part of the spring where it had letters was supposed to be showing when looking at it from the rear loool

 

Just a note to those who are installing coilovers or doing suspension work and the axle pops out.. Hopefully this could be helpful:
Tbh it's not to hard. The way to do it is first hold brake disk part (the place you put the wheel on) up right and as if you're trying to push it back in straight.. And as you're doing this along with holding pressure against it (trying to push it back in), rapidly spin the brake disk part left and right like a crazy driver turning the steering wheel left and right as you're putting pressure against the brake disk part up right (like in the way you would try to force it back in making it look normal). If you do this according, it should pop back in within matter of seconds as this method works for me and others. This happened to me good amount of times, now it seems I'm good at it. Hope it works lol

 

i need to cut the bumpstops on the rear shocks. any advice on the best way to do this?

doing it tomorrow.

thanks advance

 

If your talking about the metal things that is holding the plastic sleeves in place, I used a metal cutting disc power tool to cut them off, I tried using hammer and screw driver but it wasn't working for me. The power tool did it in no time. Good luck!

 

thanks i got it off using a plumbers wrench, & an allen wrench, a vise, and some elbow grease.

now that i have taken out:
~ 75% of the front bump stop(s)
~ 60% of the rear bump stop(s)

my car is finally starting to feel as smooth as stock. but I'm lowered 2" all around!
woot woot!

 

I have sportlines and Koni Orange on my ge8. Has anyone had issues with the plastic on the dust boot. Mine had broken off and settled at the bottom of the shock. My shock is resting on the bump stop and I will be cutting it in half tomorrow. My question is has anyone removed the dust boot and will I have problems if I leave the top metal part of the dust boot on my car if I cut the bump stop.

 

yeah both my dust boots up front are off, same with hootie as far as i know

 

Did you cut the front boots off. I couldn't pull off the front bumpstop. The picture is of the rear. The plastic boots ripped off the metal collar so I cut them off. Should I take the metal collar off also in the rear?

 

id leave the metal collar on. my rear sleeves are intact.

on the fronts i do believe i cut the sleeves off.

 

I just cut the bumpstops a on the rear. I may cut the front boots off to get to the bumpstops.

 

My offset on my wheels is 35mm... If I drop on TF210s, will camber bolts give me enough room? Or do I need to pay someone to flare the fenders?

Thanks!

 

Like to know where you bought that RS*R Spring??? Any website would be helpful thanks

 

Trying to to build a quick change out setup

New to the Honda product. 2010 fit GE8 this thread was a great help thanks. Can I the stupid question of the week. Everybody talking bumps stops trimming and such I assembled my new R sr springs .8/1.0 spring with Koni oranges str.t. Shocks.
my question for the front struts I preface this with never doing strut on any Honda let alone the odd setup of a fit. Are the bumpstops exposed or hidden inside the bellows . At the top or bottom of strut. Kyb sb 102boot kit build quick change setup. Thanks

 

Old post i know..followed you up to the tape measure part..the rest would be looking at your pics & hoping i was looking at the correct nuts, bolts, caps, clips, wires drscribed. Did you wing it the first time you lowered a car or have some training or type of experience? Looks good tho.
