I was wondering, with the GC coilovers (1" Lower then stock) is it necessary to shave some material off the bump stops.

Thanks

No. I run GC 550/150 about an inch lower. Works fine with the bumpstop still there. I think most people shave it because the wheels are rubbing the stop.

Thanks for the reply. I was just wondering because when I try to go lower the car doesn't seem any lower. I have lowered the perch all the way down, I have never checked to see if the bump stops were causing it... do you still use the rubber insulator? Or do you user the rubber hose on the top coil?

Thanks again, I appricate it.

Frankly, I don't think the insulator does much. I doubt it really matters either way. I put my isolator on the ground and jumped on it. It compresses less than half an inch and I'm about 200lbs so the average rate of the isolator is probably greater than 200lbs/in. It is not very soft and whether you leave it in or not the rear springs will still do their job.
