8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - Bump stop ? for Eibach Pro-Kit

I just got the Pro-Kit and I am going to attempt to install it tomorrow. Hopefully the auto gods will be on my side.

After looking over the instructions I noticed it says to "remove the stock rear shocks from the vehicle" and then it goes into this whole business about drilling out the pinch point in the crush sleeve to get to the bump stop and cut it down. I thought you only had to remove the front shocks and trim the bump stop on the fronts only. Do you have to cut bump stops on both the front and rear? The instructions don't even mention cutting the front shock's bump stops at all.

Help?

Also, is this really doable for someone who has not messed with springs before?
