tl;dr
*How much bump stop have you removed?
*What section was it(top, bottom)?
*How are you liking it?
I searched 4 pages of the suspension section with the keywords bump stop and cut and was rather disappointed. I'm replacing my struts this weekend(hopefully) and was just wondering where everyone else was cutting their bump-stops at. I currently only have a drivers side bump that looks more distressed than intentionally cut and the passenger side one is gone(probably why it's completely blown.)
Below is my guesstimate of where my one remaining front stop was cut{the blue line}, I don't really like that location as it removes the smallest internal section of the bump-stop{the black line} that would be responsible for holding it in place at the top of the strut. The lower area also has the most "give" of any part of bump-stop which would be less of an initial impact on the strut when the car does bottom.
The picture below is where I plan to cut the new one{orange line}
According to my good enough for government work calipers the center of the first portion would be approximately 1" removed. Which I think would be adequate for both not hitting it too soon on a 1.5" drop and still providing enough cushion.
Here is a non-doodled image that you can doodle on yourself if you so please.
