The difference between non-sport and sport rear stops is 3/4".
I've not compared the fronts.
The sport stops have one less baffle. If you do cut, I'd suggest you cut that one - as the lower and upper pieces have fitment purposes. I paid just under $20 per stop at the dealer.

Sorry.. I don't. I never bought them since installing them after the fact is a PITA
plus I don't really think they make a difference as that height is determined by the spring... whereas the rear height is determined by the stop (along with the spring), which is why ride quality is an issue.

Damn...I should've measured my front sport bumpstops b/f they went on. Sorry :^(
I still have the non-sport ones if you need measurements, but that probably doesn't help you.
BTW, although it seems that the front bumpstops don't affect ride quality/height, I figured I'd put OEM sport ones in anyway--they're only about 40 bucks more for the fronts and I don't have to worry about possibly having to switch them out later on.
