They are lower therefore you need shorter stops or to shorten those fitted to prevent the travel bottoming out.

Do a search on how to or just buy new ones pre shortened.

I have Eibach Springs and dampers and have not cut the bump stops, drop is still 30mm and have no problems with the ride. I have just renewed the rear bump stops on my vRS as they had totally perished - the old ones had been compressed by a couple of cm!

There is a 'how to' thread on here if you want to cut them, think you cut the bump stop in half, take a section out and araldite back together. Some people have reported problems with a crashy ride hence cutting the stops to allow more travel however mine seem perfectly fine.

Edit: Jabba Sport uprated the suspension and installed the Eibach setup for the previous owner and bump stops were not cut! Thats not to say you should'nt just I have'nt had any problems

Which ones come pre-shortened?

I found the "How To" for you-------------:thumbup: http://briskoda.net/technical-guides/bumpstop-trimmimng-101-picture-guide/108197/

Which ones come pre-shortened?

I think powerflex do them

no need to cut the bump stops, not had a problem with mine in 40k miles on road and track

(Eibach springs on standard dampers)

Never cut mine either

Thanks people
