Trimming bump stops,

[Remy_reign]

I have a quick question, I'm seeing ppl buy springs for the the fronts.
and when I read some of the post, they state they trimmed the bump stops. whats the reason for this? Is it to lower it a bit more?

Thanks in advance!!!

When you lower the car, the shock is going to have reduced travel (not technically, but at ride height your shock will naturally be more compressed). In order to make up for the loss in shock travel, you trim the bumpstop to gain some of that travel back. You will know when you are "riding the bumpstop" because the "linearity" of the road feel/suspension absorption will randomly feel harsh.
