Cutting bump stops

[walshydub]

Is it possible to cut my bump stops in half without taking the coilovers off the car?

You'd risk scratching the shock piston. And you'd have to cut a slit down to actually remove it. More of an annoyance than anything.

Easy really. The shock piston things are very tough so I wouldn't be too worried about scratching them, just be carefull. I took mine out to cut mine though.

Did cut the helper springs off with an angle grinder though, in an attempt to keep some sort of alignment

I have used a loose hacksaw blade to cut them on the car, just get a fine tooth blade. Cut horizontally around the strut and then you can push the sliver up and slice it down the side.
