Lowered Cars Please Read - Bump Stops!!!

[501]

when i had my set up(df210-trd struts)installed they had forgot to cut the bumpstops. when the car was set down the front was still at stock hieght, which i could tell that the strut was sitting only on the bumpstop. i had to drive for a week like this, the ride was harsh up front and the car wanted to skip around in turns if pushed at all. after the bumpstops were cut the front end dropped into its travel and the ride was night and day better. now the car does not bottom out every where like before.

when running springs you will always shorten the life span of the struts.
another note is that the trd shocks were designed to work in conjunction with the trd lowering springs, and with that combo you should not lose hardly any of your total suspension travel.

I used shitbrand springs. I did not cut my bumpstops and the set up is only temorary. The front is 2 inches lower without cutting the bumpstops.

You are saying not cutting the bumpstops with the DF and the TRD Shocks installed that your car was not lower than stock? Huh?

I am planning to use the same set up as you since there are no shock options except for the TRD but I am not yet commited to the idea of butchering the bump stops.
