Wouldn't you have to cut your bumpstops (#11) in half to compensate for the shocks?

if you didnt have number 8 that strut would shoot straight through your chassis.
10 is more like a dust boot, thats up to you, but i would def. like to keep dirt off of my tokicos and keep their life as long as possible.
13, and 11 you also HAVE to use. 11 is your bump stop, and you DONT have to cut it

i have same...TODAY i am going to cut my bumpstops in half, because my EK makes terrible squeeking sounds. [the car is sitting on the 2.5" bumpstop]
IMO, it depends on how low you are going. i have 3 fingers under the fender and the dam thing sits on the bumpstops.
i have heard a bunch of people on HT remove the bumpstop all together, (did research all yesterday) and a few setups have the springs are strong enough to keep the car from hitting the tower. given the bumps are not so bad.
i say, cut them in half if you are going to drop them, again just what i am doing. might help you tho?!
