Eibachs and bump stops

Hey, sorry for the noob question, but am I supposed to trim my bump stops in the front after installing my Eibach Pro-Kit springs? If so, how much? I bought the springs second hand and I don't have any instructions. Thanks!

I don't know i was hoping to get that info here. I'm just gonna remove the fronts and trim them about 1/2 an inch. I have my Tein S-tech chart that says to cut the bump stop 1 inch in the front and 1.3 in the rear, but those are for the Tein S-techs. Since they are about double the drop I will just cut mine half

I installed eibachs and hp's and no trimming was done to the bumpstops. I have yet to experience a bottoming, so it looks like all is good. I dont think there is any reason to trim your bumpstops.

Did the instructions with your Eibachs tell you to trim your bump stops? I was kinda wondering if mine was hitting the bump stops in the corners.. I'm going see if they're actually bottoming out or not this week when I hit bumps in the twisties. BTW - I love your max LOL...
