With the Tokico struts in installed, I rarely rub anymore.

I just cut my bumpstop to the plastic piece for insurance. I have only hit the bumpstop a couple times ever, and I'm lowered 1.8 inches.

Must be the stiffer struts... Did you have the lowering springs installed on the stock struts, and if so did you hit the bump stops considerably more with them?

I ask because based on my measurements, you don't have much travel left. I'm guessing 1/2 to 1 inch...

Yea, I ran for 20K miles with the same lowering springs on the stock struts.

The only time I ever hit the bumpstops, was over potholes at speed. I drive the car pretty fast into turns. and with the new struts I get less tire rub on the fender liner, but never ride the bumpstops through turns.

I have more than 1 inch of up travel.
