    I am going to install the dinan suspension and was wondering with the 1/2" drop do the bump stops need trimmed?

    i also notice that the spring seat on the Left hand strut was popped off, can i just hammer it back on with a long piece of metal pipe if i take car not to damage the shaft?


    thanks

    any time you lower, its important to trim the bumpstop. I recall getting replacement, shorter stops but I could be remembering that wrong.

    And for the collar.....a gentle tap with a screwdriver and hammer should work as well
