Bumpstop cutting with Swift Springs
Anyone with Swift Sport springs, I need to know how much to cut the bumpstops. Instructions only cover regular Lancer, is it the same or different?

IMO you can go either way. Instructions say not to.

The springs come with a chart that say if you should or should not cut. If you bought them second hand, do not cut.

Instructions say not to cut but I cut mine anyway just to make sure I wasn't hitting them during hard full-lock turns in auto-x

Cut them if you want. It's no big deal if you cut them or not. You don't have to, but if you do trim them a little it's not going to have an affect on anything other than letting your strut compress that much further.
