[tucks100]

hello any1 help i have just put koni shocks and lowering spring on the front of my clio172 do i need to cut the front bump stops or not

 

[Dave..]

what?

 

[gaz_5103]

Bump stops are on the shocks so new ones will come with new shocks.

 

[tucks100]

there was not any in the box from koni thats y i am asking

 

[gaz_5103]

They will be on the new shocks below the plastic protector. Some come with them some don't. If new ones don't have any use it old ones.

i have but do i need to cut any of the rubber off the top off them because i have lowered the car or not

 

[gaz_5103]

Nah they'll be fine.

Cut them down mate, the koni shocks have shorter insides. I cut mine in half.

If you keep them the sandard height chances are underload the car will ride on the bump stops.

Also Wouldnt bother with the ones that come with the kit, The standard ones have rubber boots which give more protection.
