I installed the Eibach pro system which constists of springs and dampers. Well while assembling the front springs/damper I trimmed the bump-stop because I thought I was supposed to.

Now that I have had time to check the internet I noticed I was supposed to trim the rear bumpstop, not the front one.

Will trimming the front bumpstop cause any damage?

It'll just let the front of the car drop lower so be extra careful on speedbumps and other larger dips.

But it wont change the height or anything will it.

You mean like the front could drop low enough to scrape the nose? Like when hitting a dip in the road at a pretty good speed?

^^It could already do that... now it can go even further :-P

Alright, I get what your saying.

So, since I trimmed maybe half an inch, it will just allow it to go that much further down, during spring compression?

During normal driving, will it affect anything other that what has already been discussed?
