Default BUMPSTOPS

Okay guys and gals...this is driving me insane.

I know we are supposed to cut the bumpstops when going below 1.75, but the real question is by how much do we cut them...1/2, 1/3, 1/4???

And will cutting the bumpstops have any effect on the height in the front? Say with the Spy springs...if I cut the bumpstops, will it lower the front any?

I think the Suspension FAQ should include a shpiel about the bumpstops, especially if everyone says that they need to be cut, but fails to include by how much.

Much agreed and half the bumpstop is exactly what you should cut if you do a 2" drop.
