ive heard of people cutting them in 1/4 or 1/2 in.
but there have also been others who have left them alone.

getting my tein basic coilovers installed next week, so what am i supposed to do with the bumpstops?

 

You can probably just leave them. Since it's a complete package I'm sure Tein engineered their bumpstops to keep their shocks from bottoming out. I had to cut mine for my Eibach springs but then agian I was using stock shocks.

 

I did not modify nor do I intend to modify my bumbstops, but I need to raise back up about an inch, I think its done settleing now. Some parking lots have really tall speed bumps that are just unavoidable. I got the ball joints and the rear arms in this week so hopfully I can get them installed tomorrow and get some pics done. I'm starting to push 400 miles without the alignment so I need to get this stuff on.

 

this is the response i got from tein

Thank you for your interest in TEIN High Performance Suspension
products.
All TEIN coilovers include bump stops installed on the piston shaft
from our
facility. Bumpstops are designed to keep the suspension from exceeding
its
intended stroke, and to keep the vehicle from bottoming out. We would
strongly recommend leaving the bumpstop intact on all of our coilover
kits.
Removal of any components would void the warranty and could be a
potential
safety hazard. For further information regarding TEIN products and for
