KYB Adjustables

I lowered my car 2" so I then decided to get the KYB Adjustable shocks. When I adjust the shocks, I really don't notice as much difference as I would think. In fact, it is so little I'm not even sure it is different. You know how your mind messes with you. If you expect something to change your mind will make you think it has. But anyway, is this a normal thing. Or should there be a significant difference. Could I have installed them wrong?

Also, if anyone has this set up on there Integra, what did you do with the bump stop that was under the stock dust boot in the front?

You should cut the bump stops

I feel a difference with my KYB AGX's with them on different setting.
I doubt they are installed wrong.

Cut the bumps like in half? How much should I cut. I just remember seeing that no cutting was necessary on my car, but the truth comes from experience.

1/2 should be good, leave them a little larger & if your suspension bottoms out, then trim some more. Your really shouldnt have a problem bottoming out the suspension with "normal driving" on good springs/shocks.

every article ive read on doing aftermarket shocks/springs says cut the bumpstop in half. i dont think any of them were specifically for integras, but it seems like its pretty universal.
