Cut them with a hacksaw. Obviously they will need to be removed first. I wouldnt advise it cos the originals are very soft anyway. You'll hardly notice the difference. | |

Harder bumpstops such as Polyurethene ones that powerflex sell shorten damper life if it rides tham a lot. So its saying with Gmax springs and standard dampers you need shortened bumpstops? If I were you i'd keep the original GM ones in but they will only last about 6-8months as they are soft foam. I wouldnt upgrade to powerflex ones as they are too hard, try Jamex rubber bumpstops or keep replacing them with GM ones but they are pretty costly! | |

If you are gonna get them pretty soon after then either live with it cuz if you kill the standard shocks and you aint gonna want them again then no loss, but one thing to think about is two lots of fitting costs, enless you are doing it or a mate etc:thumbs: | |

you'll suffer from a very boucy ride, standard shocks will die within months depending on driving style... | |
