Installing Tanabe GF210s?

Do you really have to cut the Bump Rubber as it say? Thanks

Yeah, it's not that bad. They handle really well, especially with new struts, and the drop is good. It may look a little like the car didn't drop very low, but give it a day or two and the springs will settle and it'll be the 1.75" drop.

I am running them with kyb agx's. Looks and drives real nice. I had my local shop do my suspension so I wouldnt know about the cutting thing. They never had a hard time with the project. The good thing about it was I supplies the parts, they did the work. hehe, I didnt have the time to replace bushing,shocks, camber controls, and springs at the time and I only had to replace the front strut mounts do to some cracking in the rubber.

yeah, if you don't cut the bumpstops after you set it on the ground you'll have like 1 in. of suspension travel. did you have to use spacers on your front wheels to avoid rubbing?
