I have a 1995 corsa 1.2 3dr and it has 40mm G-max lowering springs and G-max shocks only in the back.Should i have cut the bump stops because it bottoms out a lot and it is if the shocks are'nt serving any purpose.Could someone give me advice on this.cheers.

There is nothing in the boot.Sometimes it feels like i'm hitting the bump stops when i'm driving over a speed bump at 5 miles an hour.I can't really explain it though.

If you are feeling it bottoming out with a thud either your bumpstops have had it OR they are too soft. 40mm shouldnt be riding the bumpstops that often/easily, unless GMAX springs are real soft
