Default Using cut bumpstops for stock suspension setup...

I used to have KYB AGX's with Tein S-tech springs. When I installed those, I cut the first knub off on the smaller side of the bumpstop. Now, I'm replacing my Omni coilovers with KYB GR2's with my stock springs. Will the cut bumpstops still work? If not, do I have to get them from the dealer or will autozone or something similar have them? I've been plowing snow and dragging my underbody all winter, I need to get the old civic raised back up soon here.

I'll second this. The bumpstops are there just in case you bottom the suspension. At stock ride height, that should be a very rare occurance. And even if you did, it sounds lke you still have enough of a bumpstop to save the shock.
