Yeah, needless to say, I was shocked, too!!!

My bump stops aren't trimmed either, and I don't have a problem.  Trimming
them down seems like a good idea.  Does anyone know how far you can go
before the rod bottoms in the cartridge?  I'm hoping Koni designed it so
that almost all of the rod would go inside the cartridge before bottoming.
Maybe I'll call Koni and see what they say.  If the strut won't bottom with
the bump stop trimmed, then we'll probably do it to my friend's car, and
I'll probably do it to mine eventually.
