however, your struts/shocks are not to be to be compressed so much, it'll lead to pre-mature wear. Also, it is likely you'll rub
i didn't cut mine.

What kind of springs are you using and how is the ride when you go over bigger bumps?

Here is some good read about bump stops.

So... from reading that are we to believe that we shouldn't trim down our bump stops when installing lowering springs? So if we cut them the ride will be more comfortable but the shocks will blow a lot faster.... is this correct?
