My H&R instructions said that only the listed vehicles needed the bumpstops to be cut. My car was not listed. I ended up cutting one notch a little later in the back......

I think the KYBs are actually shorter than the OEM ones, so no cutting should be necessary.
As far as feeling a difference. I did it at the same time I put in Ben's rear shock mounts, so yes there was a very noticeable difference. I think it was mostly becasue of the shock mounts, but the extra clearance I believed helped as well. Before it felt like I was just riding on the bumpstops in the back. That brings up another point, are you planning on using his mounts in the back. I highly recommend them.

I think you will be fine with the KYB bumstops. You can contact Ben at a later time and get those things on there. The back setup is pretty easy to do, and no alignment is needed either. Lower away and show us some shots

What struts are you going to use?
