the ride gets bouncy.


bumpstops keep the strut top from contacting the tophat when the strut is fully compressed... prevents blowout of the inner valves.


yes, on a stock strut, since it allows increased strut piston travel beyond the manufacturer's specs. for a performance strut, you wont need to cut them since they feature a shortened piston design.
