Default HELP with lowering springs

Hey guys I'm planning to install my springs Friday. I have already found a decent tutorial on how to do it but am looking for more if you guys know of any. I'm also wondering how much I need to cut down the bump stops I'm installing JDM springs dropping 2" all around . Thanks in advance !

Thanks but now I'm having more problems because when I went to put the new springs on they were a little wider on the bottom then the stocks so I think the guy sent me the wrong springs

I was going to post earlier that you should start with not getting "JDM" springs, but I didn't want to come off like a dbag. Now I wish I did. With suspension, I wouldn't go the cheap route.

Well yea but I figured the springs should at least fit and give me the look I was looking for ya know ? I mean they're like a whole 1/8" off if I hit a bump the spring would slip right off . ____es me off I went through all the work I did just to figure out they're not even either the right ones or are just made wrong
