Jounce Stop Adjustment

Hi Guys. I had installed the Ford Racing P Springs, the ride was a bit stiff but as the car settled I did not like it anymore, it almost felt like the travel was bottoming out. So I installed the original springs back on.

I still have the P springs and read a bunch of articles about cutting the jounce stops. I have read that the rear jounce bump stops can be cut by 3/4" to 1", but there is no mention of the front ones. Does anyone know about the adjustment length.

Thanks for your input.

I cut just the top nub off of mine for the pro springs, then I went to some steeda sport springs. I don't think they need to be cut for the sports. I think I might install some stock pieces this winter and see how it goes. I don't think they need to be cut for a 1 inch drop but i'm not 100% sure of that.
