I have put some yellow adjustable konis in my car and I cut one of the three bump stops off (the soft one on the top,stock parts, not the ones that came with the konis. yet). I've got just shy of two inches of suspension travel, I would to get as much travel as possible w/o bottoming the shocks or raising the car. I have not bottomed onto the stops yet, but I've not driven it too much since the swap.
Am I safe to cut one more of the bump stops off and only have one stop section ? Should I use the stock stops or koni provided stops?
thanks

if your konis bottom out once, you will destroy the valve

the car in this avatar is too low in teh front and suspension geometry is off. if you want to be this low you must raise your spindles on teh strut housing.
look under the car. if the bottom of teh A arrm is less than parallell to the ground, its not to good. the ball joint must be lower than the suspension pivot
