Sorry my car doesn't have a wing, body kit, 18 inch wheels, 5% tinted windows and clear lights. That's just not my style, 
And like I said in my HS thread, the springs and struts were taken apart and re-installed EXACTLY how they were the first time, so they were seated correctly. I even checked that when I took them apart because the top strut mount "locks" or "clicks". So, I install my shocks/springs, and the front is higher. I take them apart, cut the bumpstops, it goes 1 finger lower...hmmmmm?
I was never trying to be rude, just offering another view because everything was installed correctly. Don't ya think it'd be a little weird that I'd install BOTH fronts incorrectly and the rears correctly? ESPECIALLY when I work at a shop and had TWO mechanics with 10 years + experience DOUBLE CHECK over my shoulder...yep, thanks bud.
Like I said, cutting the bump stops isn't gonna lower ur car unless ur suspension is compressed to the point to where ur riding on them and being that we have identical suspension setups, I know for a fact that ur car isn't riding on them. But if it makes you feel better to think that cutting the foam bump stop, that just sits there on the shaft of the shocks to prevent ur frame from bottoming out on the shocks, actually lowered your car, more power to you. You had something else going on there bro, my guess is that the springs weren't seated properly. I know ur incapable of making mistakes so it's impossible for that to have been the problem
