Hi Guys,

I am going to have my springs installed tomorrow at a shop and I am quite excited but worried at the same time.

I have a 2009 Fit Sport and I have some questions regarding the bump stops in the rear (maybe Vinn can chime in since you had DFs installed on your car?)

My question is: Is it necessary to remove the bumpstops in the rear? If It is, can I just remove it completely and not trim it?

The reason I dont want to trim it is because someone on the board mentioned that if I ever wanted to go back to stock, Honda does not sell bumpstops by itself but rather the WHOLE UNIT (which will cost an arm and a leg).

So what are my options?

1. Remove bumpstops completely and no bumpstops for the rear?
2. leave the bumpstops as it is and dont trim?
3. Trim it and sell blood for the whole units if i ever wanted to go back to stock?

Btw, since no one was intersted in my pro-kit..i am installing the eibach pro-kit tmr.

thanks for the help everyone!

 

do not remove the bump stops. trim the bump stops. save the trimmed portion of the bump stop if you decide to go back to stock.removing the bumpstops all together can and will cause damage. have a nice day.

 

thanks! this board has been so helpful!

 

Yeah, on all the cars I have lowered...I have always givent he customer's their cut portion of the bumpstop back. or atleast i offer it up to them.
