From what I remember, there are two different types of bump stops. The earlier type are 'stalagmites', and the later type are 'stalactites'.
My first 480 had the earlier style, and when I fitted my 40mm springs, I didn't have to cut them down at all. My second 480, which I tansfered the 40mm springs to had the later type, and they had to be cut down, to stop the car sitting on the bump stops.

By the way.... I have a set of KYB K-Force 30mm drop springs that I bought for my last 480, but didn't get round to fitting before selling it. I bought them second hand, but the seller claimed they'd only been used for 2000 miles.
Anyone want to make me an offer?
Ben.
(image borrowed from t'internet, but I imagine this is what they look like - i've never even taken them out the box!)

I can rate those, same as i had. Catgroom commented how they handled well, but still gave me sufficient comfort.

Yep, mine are the Stalactite styles. So that explains why they are different!
Nice diagram by the way.

I though it was a better idea not to create a new topic on a already existing subject
Sorry for that!
