But I don't think this is an issue, considering Bilstein have designed the shock to be used with lowering springs in mind.

I had a look at the bumstops itself. They are very very soft, almost like a sponge that compresses freely without any major resistance.
Half an inch of travel before bump stop engagement is fine, especially since the stops are so soft.

How long are your stops?
