Yes yes obviously yours have not been trimmed but I don't know if you got them from Dinan or just sourced them yourself. Anyway thanks for all the good info you provided.

Stops can be engaged earlier on to provide a progressive spring effect where you have a soft OE spring initial rate, and then the stop boosts the rate when it comes into play. If the bump stop is too stiff/hard then it can transmit too much force into the body, but its spring characteristics can be tuned just like swapping to stiffer/softer springs themselves.
