i have illumina's with eibach springs,

i bought dustboots and all other parts to replace old ones,,, from courtesy nissan,

question: do i have to cut the bump stops on the new boots? or just put em on there

 

Cut them.....

 

I didn't cut mine, but njmax has just weee bit more experience doing this...

 

I didn't cut mine, nor did I cut the ones on suspension jobs I did on two other A32s driven by friends. I never had any problems and neither did they.

 

I think you should cut them, not reason why you shouldn't since you've dropped the car 1.5".

BTW..let me know how you like the ride.

 

oh i love the ride, had them on for a good 4 months now. but just now getting around to getting boots and other minor stuff i should have fixed then,

for one. i didn't have money, and two i was in a rush, b/c i was leaving for a trip

how much should i cut them?

 

Someone said to cut them half-way. I'm not sure, I bought my eibach/illumina/boot/cut bumpstops all in one unit used.

What settings are you illuminas? Is the ride harsh over city streets? I may pm you.

 

nah ride isn't harsh,, well sorta but nothing i don't like had em on 4/4 but till i get new mounts, it was rattling way to bad, so i have em on 2/3

 

My recommendation would be to listen to njmaxseltd. I cut mine on my 4th gen.

 

you should cut them. take off maybe one of those little bubbles. it will give you a little more suspension travel since you are lowered.

 

alright, cutting it is..

gonna cut 2 bubbles off when i get home later

thanks guys

 

ahh i cut the rear (1 nub).. cause we dont have much travel to begin with back there..
but my drop is on Vogtland springs which are not that crazy drop... so i left teh fronts....
