Default Should I cut my bumpstops when I install my Neuspeed Sports?

I was thinking about cutting them in half. But I have no idea what they look like and how to cut them. Any help would be appreciated

If you're lowering your car they definatly have to be shorter than they currently are. When I did my setup my new front shocks came with bumpstops that were about 1.5-1.75" and my rears didnt come with any at all so I cut my stock ones in half and used them.

They are a light orange color, use a razor blade or knife to cut them. Your stock ones can be found after taking off the metal dust cover from your stock strut.

i did mine, didnt measure it, just cut it half way on each bumpstop all around and seems fine to me.

So even tho it says not to cut them, do you think I should still cut them in half? What is the benefit of doing this?
