i agree when i lowered my car i cut my bump stops in half and my car rides fine.ive lowered a few cars in my day and ive always cut the bump stops and ive never had a problem.all my friends that have lowered their cars did the same and they never had a problem so in my opinion you should cut them in half and you shouldnt have a problem,but remember when you do that dont cut them wrong or your car is going to ride f**ked up.well good luck and welcome to the world of lowered cars have fun!
