Teebag has cut ones too tho car was too low so we raised it up a tiny bit
How would you go around cutting them? could just grind them not sure if it's the best way though.

better to hit the bump stop than bottoming out the dampers.

Does the car actually have a warrenty? it's nearly 10 years and I wouldn't ever take it to a pug garage anyway.

i though you just install some new dampers
anyway that doesn't make any difference. hitting the bump stop is better than bottoming out.

Didn't want to cut them off I'm not completely retarded
When you look at them they are pretty huge, just wondered if you can shrink them a bit whilst still keeping the rubber stopping force but allow more travel. Didn't know if it would benefit at all.
