i know this topic has be beat to death...but i've still got no finally answer.

i just got a set of Maxspeed springs for my 2k. i'm going to install the springs tomorrow (going to start with stock shocks...will get KYB GR2s later).

but, the springs didn't come with any paperwork or directions for some reason.

trying to figure out if i would even need the manufactures directions for any reason. do i?

and can someone please tell me for sure whether or not i trim the bumpstops on a 2k with Maxspeeds? if so, how much exactly?

can anyone with Maxspeed let me know what they did. and if the directions that came with them are really important - anyone got a copy of theirs?

thanks in advance

 

I don't recall Maxspeeds ever having instructions for installation in the package.

 

are you serious? ok...solves that problem then.

so should i trim the bumpstops and how much?

 

Don't trim.

I didn't and no problems. I'm running SE stock struts.

 

I don't anyone trims them with Maxspeeds. I'm on maxspeed/GR-2 combo w/ no problems.

 

I have Maxspeeds on my 2K2 SE with the factory shocks. No need to trim the bumpstops.

 

Personnaly got my Eibach and will install them this Spring!!

I won't trim my bumpstop for sure!!!

 

You DO NOT need to do this with Maxspeeds.

 

cool. thanks guys!

i installed them last night with no problems at all. and DID NOT trim!!!

i'll post pics and a text how-to with step-by-step pics in the next few days.

thanks again for the advice!

Waiting for the pics. Probably gonna go the same direction you

 

yea..i picked up the Maxspeeds new on ebay for $66. install was obviously free...and not nearly as difficult as i expected. just took some time and a few extra hands.

pics and how-to coming soon!

 

check out my new thread for my how-to and pics of the install:

I trimmed the rears, cut them in half.

 

not me...i left them just like they were - as i think most people have with MaxSpeeds.

no clunks or thuds so far! keeping my fingers crossed! we'll see.

 

did you have to wrap the spring coils with spring wrap?

do you have any rubbing noise now when driving and going over bumps?



people typically did this on 4th gens and i'm new to the 5th gen scene..

 

yes, i took the short wrap off the stock springs and put them on the MaxSpeeds. no rubbing, no grinding, no pops...nothing! knock on wood...but flawless so far!

 

i have 20" rims and want to put some maxspeeds on there do you think it will scrub the fender?

 

i was trying to post a pic but i dont know how to
