on the struts.
these are off a jetta, but essentially, they look about the same.

 

ill look into that.

 

ahh didn't know you could cut that...

 

Here's my 06 tC with Tein S.Techs

 

yea you have to cut the bumpstops if your springs didn't come with one, or i think you'll hear some thumping sounds when you hit bumps. i remember my hotchkis came with new bumpstops that were half the size of the stock ones.

 

yupp.
that thumping sound is your struts bottoming out.
cutting the bumpstops just allows them more room to travel.

 

hey yellow, is that the picture of a bumpstop cut already?

 

no, thats not even a tc bumpstop.
thats one off a jetta.

ours are shorter than those.
ill try to find some pics now.

 

here ya go.


thats a pic of the bumpstop already cut. if you were to put those 2 pieces back together thats what it would look like when you first take it off.

 

cool thanks, just wanan know an example pic, cuz i dont kno if mine is cut or not.

 

so basically the bump stop should be cut in half, no matter what type of spring you have?

 

typically the lower the drop the more of the bumpstop ppl cut. with s-techs they usually cut it in half. but yea, just cut it in half with any drop, youll be fine

 

so mengsta, have you decided what you're gona get dropped on next?

 

yeah ima order s-techs in a week or so. lol

 

You'll love the s-techs.

 

^ nice! car is clean...

yeah i think ill love your car more then the s-techs lol. Anyway ima try to install em myself, wanna help lobster? ill f*kn drive 6 hours dogg haha.
