Default Not sure for the bump stops being close to the axle
Hi guys a quick question. Just put the poly bump stops and went underneath the car and they looked very close to the axle, not even a finger length of opening. I have H&R springs with adjustable koni's. Should i trim it a little bit or leave it that way. How much clearance should i have?
Thanks in advance.

You should have more than a finger gap. If you drive it, you'll find out if you need to increase the gap or not.

If you have your struts on the stiffest setting it might be alright. Only one way to tell though, find some bumps!
