Eibach Pro Kit Bump Stops

I searched the forums and I found like one thread, but that didn't really help much.

Anyway, I just dropped my car off at the shop to get my RPF1's and Hankook's installed along with my Eibach's. I forgot to tell the dude there to make sure and cut the bump stops. So I'm wondering if it makes a significant difference in ride height? I know that Eibach instructs you to cut them.

Edit: I want to be as low as possible.

Extremely difficult.

Nah, you're right. But I'm super lazy and have a bunch of work I need to do at the office. I'll just hope for the best...

When we installed the eibach springs on my car, we forgot to cut the bumpstops. IMO I think it looks fine, then again I DD the car.

Cutting the bumpstops doesn't make the car any lower. Bumpstops prevent the the shocks from overcompressing. In other words, if cut, the bumpstops will allow more travel in the suspension.
