I've read some info on other forums (not x5 E53 related) and it is suggested to shave the bump stops when lowering.

I picked up some B&G springs for about $160 and figured they might go well with new Bilstein B4 struts and complete front end suspension refresh. Everything on the strut will be new, OEM from bottom spring seat to top of.

Question is, I can not find any information concerning bump stops and the possibility of shaving them to keep them from bottoming out quickly on a slightly lower setup or if they will on the E53 setup.

A lot of helpful threads on struts but nothing on the bump stops.
