Are they shorter than OEM?
Sponsored
I mean the instructions say to. Im guessing for a reason. I would say because the travel of the strut or shock at oem would be shorter then the new spring would need. That's why need to cut them down to allow more compression. But im guessing.Is it necessary to replace or cut the oem ones down? I installed progressive steedas on my 18' magneride and forgot about the bumpstops...
Definitely a harsher ride. You’re riding on the bumpstops.Yeah I remember reading about them but was so anxious to lower my car my buddy and I totally forgot. FML... So your saying i'll have a harsher ride cause its not letting the suspension compress? Would it be less of a drop as well?
My thought would be that yes you get the drop but the travel of the shock/strut will be shortened. so if you had a oem travel of 2 inches when going over speed bumps and such or potholes. You now have a travel of 1 inch and I woud think that yes it would translate into a bumpier ride and the bumps stop being hit more often than before.Yeah I remember reading about them but was so anxious to lower my car my buddy and I totally forgot.

On Magneride there is no front strut bumpstops. The rear can be shorten up to 1/2 on Magneride S550 only.Is it necessary to replace or cut the oem ones down? I installed progressive steedas on my 18' magneride and forgot about the bumpstops...
