Koni FSD/Eibach Pro-Kit Combo and Bump Stops

Currently awaiting for the kit to arrive, should be today or tomorrow. Will be scheduling the mechanic to install the kit, as well as new strut mounts and bearings, and new ball joints on passenger and driver side.

My question is regarding the cutting of the bump stops. I bought new OEM bumpstops since Bilstein PSS use internal bumpstops. On the website that I am linking, Eibach states to not alter the bumpstops.

https://eibach.com/us/i-3632-pro-kit-performance-springs-set-of-4-springs.html

In the documents tab, it has an instruction manual that states do not alter the bump stop. I have searched this forum as much as possible to see whether or not to trim the bump stops and its basically a coin flip. Some say yes, some say no because its such a subtle drop. So I am just asking if anyone has experience with this kit, and what they have done with the OEM bump stops.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased new 118 rears but 70mm for fronts. I believe the shop is gonna trim the bump stops today. Elite Motorsports in New York.
