I'll be installing my tanabe DFs and I have read about this, but I don't know what to do. my main concern is the bump stop. Should some of it be cut or did most of you guys not tamper with it? :P

Any other advice on installing lowering springs will be appreciated as well! =) Thanks guys!

I cut mine in half with the DF's. Didn't cut them at all when I had the NF's on it.

Using this post http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=212374&highlight= and if you want also the TRD spring install instructions will give you all the info you need to do it. Really not too bad. Some do it without removing the wiper cowl. I removed it both times, just because it's a lot easier (for me) to get to the top nuts. Other than that it's pretty straight forward.
