Hi 32Krazy,

Last week I have cut my springs, front 3/8 coil and smallest springpad (1dot), back 5/8 coil and original (2dot) springpad, the ride is stiffer but still very comfortable, cornering is much improved and that was my goal. There was no need to cut the bumpstops, as the Bilstein B8 are especially designed for lowering over 3cm, so the lowering also resulted in better performance of the shocks.
I took it for a ride on the German Autobahn, cruising at 200kmh is easy, thanks for the input. And...yes I bought a MB spring compressor and am glad I did that.
Next step is to remove the resonator, probably coming spring.

greetings
