When I purchased an Eibach pro-kit for my Acura CL, the instructions came with a template for cutting the factory bump stops. It worked fine for me.

Depending on which set of springs you're going with, it may come with a template also. If not, just purchase a set of OE sport suspension bumpstumps. No point second-guessing how much to cut!

Default Not too sure what kind of answers you're after...

But cutting bumpstops is just a matter of picking up a utility knife, while there is no other way to installing OE bumpstop but to remove the shocks from the car...

Default I want to do it right but i realllyyy dont want to remove my shocks again...gotta think about this 1

I might just go ahead and buy some rear sport bumpstops since the fronts are the same for sport and non-sport....any install time estimates???
