I dont like the idea of drilling the bumpstop. The structure of the rubber foam is compromised and you risk further damage of the structure after being repeatedly compressed. Especially in the front struts since it is possible to rotate while the bumpstop engaged. But who knows.. I've not tried this. I stopped considering messing with the bumpstops when I installed adustable coilovers.
