With Sportivo shocks/struts, I don't believe your supposed to cut the bump stops. They are made for lowering springs (hence, they are shorter) and cutting the bump stops may accually allow the strut to fully compress. When the strut fully compresses the piston rod bottoms out. If this happens with enough force it will bend the rod thereby destroying the strut. Cutting the bumps only applies to stock shocks/struts with moderate drop springs. I would put full length bump stops back in there before you ruin them. Just my thought...
