So I just got my Tien S-techs yesterday and next weekend I'll be pulling my car into the garage and my dad and I are going to do it up. My question is that after reading the instructions which are a no brainer since i've put coilovers on.. it said i should cut my rubber stops in half? Has anyone else had to cut thier stoppers or should I just not worry?

definitly cut them in half and use the thicker of the two halves for better shock absorption. If you dont cut them, it will keep your car from lowering about another half inch or so. Its just a better deal. Make sure what ever tool you use to cut, that it is sharpe enough to make a straight cut. It's not that hard, try it and youll be glad you did. Good Luck!
