Again, hate to hijack, but I'm trying to save you some time on this one. And help me out too. Anyone know of anything that is drastically shorter than the stock bump stops but works just as well in it's place? Because I'd like the idea of lowering the fronts more, or at least leaving my fronts where they are without riding on the stops all the time.

Well I did that. Cut about an inch off just like the vfaq states. But I'm still on the bumpstops. That's why I'm looking for an alternative

I am running coilovers. GC coilovers to be specific. That's why I'm looking for an alternative to the stock cut bumpstops. If I wasn't looking to lower my car more, then I'd be fine with where they're at. But seeing as I'd like to make the most of my GC...

Without seriously redesigning where/how the strut mounts or getting different struts the amount you can lower the front is limited to the travel of the shock. You need a certain amount of bumpstop to absorb the maximum pot hole you will ever hit. If you hit a pot hole and the stop compresses too much and the strut bottoms out hard chances are you will be buying new struts.

If I remember correctly, I got my GC coilovers custom 'tailored' to my application for right around $400 give or take some for shipping. If you call up Ground Control and talk to a rep directly, they should be able to get your rates all figured out for the type of strut you're using and the type of use on the car.

It's an amazing improvement from stock. Rock solid around the corners with little to no body roll depending on the setting of your struts. (If they're adjustable.) However, even with a fairly mild set-up, you're gonna be feeling everything in the road. Still its not too bad once you get used to it. Just keep an eye out for the concealed pot-holes, speed bumps, and furry critters.
