Never thought of having the suspension 'ride' on bumpstops during compression to effect handling characteristics. Always thought of them as a safety. Something for the shock to bounce off of to prevent damage to the assembly.
Yeah I think that's the traditional thinking, but more and more, I'm reading about cars that integrate the bumpstops into the suspension design.

If/when you upgrade to coilovers, post up your impressions
