i have a set of tanabe df210 springs. the instructions say to cut the bump rubber. what exactly is that? does it effect ride height, because my car doesn't look like it has a 2.2 inch drop right now. thanks.

It's the small black rubber cylinder with a hole in the middle that you put the shaft of the strut through, it's used to keep the strut from bottoming out. It doesn't affect ride height, only how far the strut can compress when you go over a bump before hitting the bump stop. IIRC there were a few people that said the Tanabe's didn't give them the claimed 2.2" of drop, but give them a try for a while to let them settle to say for sure.
