Default bump stop question

After searching for some answers it looks like most people follow gregs advice buying the sport bumpstop when installed springs / shocks for the rear

ive heard different things about the front though, do most people cut / replace them or are they the the same as teh non sport bumpstops

Default I just had my suspension done last week...

I cut the rears temporarily but left the fronts as I was advised that non-sport and sport are the same height. If you don't mind the few extra dollars you should probably pick them up.

Default fronts are same size, different stiffness. If you're going in there anyhow, I'd swap

them for the sports, just for completeness sake. They aren't pricy either, maybe $25 a pair IIRC.

Default they are actually used as supplemental springs, so if you want the suspension >

to work as it was engineered to, you should put in the proper bumpstops.
