Okay so i have been riding around lowered on h&R sports for about 6 months..
OEM's struts seem to be giving out.. i discussed it with my good ol guys at motorcepts... we had plans to install Bilsteins.
Finances didnt allow me to get the Bilsteins, but was able to get a good deal on Koni yellows.
However, I have been reading a bunch about the bump stops and than the OEM ones would have to be cut in half to work properly.
Anyone have this expirence or even an opinion of what others have done?

if u have to cut the bump stop i would imagine ur sitting on the oem one not allowing the car to go down all the way. i had to cut my bump stops on my old car. was still plenty of rubber left prevent bottoming out hard.
