Steeda Sport Progressive Springs-Do I need to cut the bump stops?

[BigChief]

I just received the Steeda sport springs and pro action shocks/struts in the mail (thanks @tj@steeda)! I'm trying to gather as much info as I can before install. Does anyone know if I need to cut/shorten the factory bump stops for front or rear for the new shocks/struts?

Yes, both front and rear or get their adjustable bump stops and use the short stack.

I would assume I would use the guidelines from the the Suspension Torque Numbers Sticky? 5/8" rear 3/8" front

If you're trimming, do 1" off the front and rear.

Here's the step from the instructions:

8. Using a coil spring compressor, compress the front spring
until there is no tension on the upper strut mount. Once
the spring is safely secured, remove the nut holding down
the upper strut mount. Then, separate the strut from the
spring and the upper strut mount. Carefully release the
stock spring, and compress the new Steeda front spring. At
this time you should determine if you’re going to trim your
bump stops. Steeda recommends trimming 1” from the front
and rear bump stops, picture 8. When putting the assembly
back together, the larger diameter (ID/opening) of the
spring should be upward and each pigtail should be against
the spring stop. It doesn’t matter which way the logos are
facing. See picture 6-7 for more information. Replace the
strut nut, and repeat the process for the other front strut.

Thank you for the help! I havent opened the box yet, so I wasnt sure if it came with instructions.

Aren't bump stops just bump stops? I mean, what makes them worth it?

Better material, better fit. Mike was quite surprised when he put them on his car last month: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/impressed-surprised-w-steeda-bumpstops.117695/

Yep, 100% get these now before you install your new setup. Not only are the materials and function better than cut stops, they will not deteriorate as fast or at all.

Based on everything ive read I’m going to pick up some of these. Wish I could pay less for just the ones I need though since I’m installing just the shorter stops.

This, my friend, is a great idea. TJ, Jigar, what do you think? Is it possible to offer the full set, the short stack, and tall stack separately?
