    Did everyone trim their bumpstops on the front shocks with lowered springs? If not , any issues with bottoming out?

    I didn't have to on my Genii and I think they ride lower than the geniii. I scrub my 17s (tires) when cornering hard but that is an issue with my offset or backspacing.

    I didn't trim mine. None of the drops are low enough to warrant it
