dont do it, If you do you will be replacing your struts within a few months, I would just sell the springs buy some full coilovers to get the drop you want.

If you remove the bump-stops completely, you will bottom out the dampers internally and damage them.

You should never leave less than one inch of bump-stop under any circumstances. Most people cut the stock bump-stops in half when installing aftermarket springs.

What led you to this conclusion anyway? What is wrong with the car?
