Lowering spring w/ shorter bump stop

I'm thinking about getting H&R 1.2" lowering springs. Has anybody shortened or replaced their bump stop for this setup? Dinan sells bump stops for their lowering springs. Though they might not work well with H&R since it provides a lower ride than Dinan.

Also any pics of H&R 1.2 on stock 20's?

Dinan bump stops are a waste of money. With that drop I would only recommend cutting the rear bump stop for times when the SAV is fully loaded.

You’ll have to search for it, but the Dinan bumpstops are actually oem bumpstops from an M5 if I remember correctly. Someone took the part number from them and looked them up, same part number, just about $70 less.
Here is the thread where you can see pics and discussion about the springs...http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...=775997&page=3

Yeah the Dinan bump stop are way over priced and are just from the F10 M5. When I do the lowering springs, I'll install new bump stops.
