Those with H&R Sport springs - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

I got some on order and want to know if I need to cut the bump-stops.
I'll upgrade shocks down the line (got money tied up in other planned mods), but how's the ride with the stockers?

Thanks...can't wait to get these on.

I have the H&R's though not installed yet. The directions list a number of cars that must have the bump stops trimmed. Neither the 6i (mine) nor the MS6 (yours) are on the list. I will be having mine installed next thursday along with some MS6 struts.

I have them, and no trimming of bump stops either.

^Are you on stock shocks too?

FWIW, I have the RPM Street springs, which are a little less of a drop than the H&Rs, and I didn't need to cut the bump stops. Stock shocks still for the last 30k miles or so, but I Think they may finally be starting to wear out. I'm starting to hear a little noise from them now and again.

I trimmed mine but it's not really necessary.
