Ditto. I saw this thread earlier and almost posted, but figured maybe someone else would know wtf a spring saddle is...

I would guess he means either the strut mount or the rubber piece on the bottom between the spring and strut, in which case no you don't "need" new ones.

As for the bump stops, I didn't have to trim mine.

Re: intrax spring, do i need saddle?

nope you just need to drop in the new springs in place of the originals.

Re: intrax spring, do i need saddle?

when i installed my intrax springs, the instructions from intrax informed me to trim the bumpstops a specific amount. the amount i trimmed was different from the front and back. be sure to read the instructions carefully.
