You shouldn't have to cut the bumpstop with that little of a drop.

why would it ride like ****? you shouldn't be hitting your bump stop unless under extreme circumstances.

I had to cut my bump stop in half for my omni's, but that's different than your h & r's, I probably wouldn't just cause they don't drop it that much that you'll be using the extra 1/2" of travel.

Screw top hats, just slide the shock an inch deeper into the shock fork. CRXLEE has a post some where with pictures and the how too on it. You can find it if you look. Dont trust me trust him.
