H-Sport bump stops vs. Stockies

I should have a set of H-sports in my hands within the next few days, but they are used and dont come with the bump stops.

Does anyone have a picture of the Hsport bump stops next to some stock ones?

I need to see how much differences there is so i now how much to trim

Why not call H-Sport? They will sell you a set of bump stops separately. The H-Sport stops are a much stiffer urethane, but less than half the length of the stock soft ones.

I assembled a combo of Koni FSD, JCW springs & H-Sport bumpstops on my '05 MCS. (KonI Tech says the FSDs need suspension travel to work, which is why they recommend "stock" springs.) The result is more suspension travel than stock before you hit the stops, better corner stability at the limit, slightly lower stance, and a less jarring ride for the commute. What more could I ask?

How much did the combination of FSDs and H-Sport bumpstops end up lowering you car by?
I was really hoping to be able to lower mine by around an inch, but would like the ride of the FSDs. This sounds like the perfect combination!
