    Should be around a 1/4" to a 1/2" off the stock bumpstops. Unlike some other kits - Tein doesn't come with bumpstops. Best way - cut a bit off and drive around. IF you bottom out the suspension - then you need to take a bit more off.

    Good Luck.

    take it all off! you'll get more suspension travel, and everything will be great.

    the guys cut my bumpstops in half. So i know its not riding on struts lol. But today, the car seems a bit softer, prolly take a week for the springs and struts to settle.

    so if I took my car to the place that did my drop a year ago and tell them that I want to cut my bumpstops out, will they know what I'm talking about?

    I didn't cut anything (Tokico/Intrax drop) and it works fine..doesn't feel too rough at all..

    Maybe it should be softer than I think..lol

    if they know anything at all, they should instantly know what you are talking about.

    although "cut my bumpstops out" doesn't really make sense. they can be removed or put back on. they can also be cut to a specific size.

    I didn't cut any bumps stops on mine - TRD springs - but the drop isn't as extreme as some of these others like Tein S and H&R springs.

    How often do you guys get together for these mini-meets? Yeah, I would be interesting in going - but that Friday night, my wife got rearended at the toll plaza. Luckily, it was a 3-series BMW that hit her - nothing like a SUV or other small car killer. Everyone was shaken up pretty good - it was a good, but off center hit - Corolla actually held up pretty good. My two year old son got the $hit scared out of him - but the car seat protected him - just soft tissue damage and some trauma. Now I got to deal with the insurance adjuster from the other party and hope that they don't do a piss poor job.
