Cutting bumpstops with B&G springs

I'm putting my B&G springs in this weekend and I need to know how much I need to trim the bumpstops. Should I trim some of it off or hack off the whole thing? Any advice would be appreciated. By the way, I'm running KYB/GR2 struts/springs.
Thanks.

Cut 2 of the 3 rings on the fronts. The rear you need to trim quite a bit from as well. I suggest you use the motorvational mounts to give you some more travel in the rear as well. It makes a HUGE difference in the way your car rides with B&G's.

I ran those springs last summer for a while. I switched back to H&R's because NYC + B&G =

Tom, do you have the web sight for the motorvational mounts?.. i know they are a bit pricy but well worth the money on the long run.
thanks.
