hmmm i never heard "too short" a spring, cause that just depends on ur drop. my 3" drop springs are SHORT as hell, i wouldnt worry about that.

yes, cut the bumpstops in HALF. when u lower the car it prevents u from bottoming out every 5 seconds, like i do ;-) (did not get the bumpstops cut. imagine the ride. its rough, but stiff. ask thunderous talon)
