I’m really happy with them.

if you cut the bumpstops you might get the front down a little lower, more than likely you are riding on the bump stops right now because they are stock height and lowered springs, it will also limit the length of strut rod travel so you are not getting the full potential of that struts performance because it cant "compress" as it was designed to do
