2017~2025 CX-5 H&R or Eibach lowering springs?

[teddymac]

@teddymac saw your post about the longer B6 rear shocks for cx-5 and curious if you had issues with cutting so much off the progressive bump stop off with corksport springs.

We have bad roads in PNW and worried about taking a corner at the limit and hitting a bump that unsettles the car when hitting the heavily trimmed bump stop since the progressive part of the bumpstop is removed.

For Corksport + B6:

No issues.

For Eibach Prokit springs + factory shocks




Seems like these bumpstops act as a secondary spring. I measured the B6 cap and looks like it’s 20mm taller than factory, so considering cutting 2 rings off the rear bump stops (one less than the green line above)

I haven't had any issues since trimming the bumpstops further than what corksport recommended, to work with the Bilsteins.

If I haul a bunch of heavy stuff though, the car rides on the bumpstops again.
