I am reading that people discuss cutting their bump stops when lowering their car. What are the benefits and negatives to this? Is it a proper approach to improving the handling in the example I describe or could it lead to a more dangerous situation? Are there any better OEM+ solutions to this? Would aftermarket shocks like KONI reduce the travel and help prevent hitting the bump stops?

EDIT: I just realized, the Racecomp Engineering Yellow springs I have came with their updated bump stops, which I do have installed.
Another thing to mention is, if I'm hitting the bump stops, would it not be kind of harsh? Again, I will have to give this a few more tests to really focus on the feel, but it feels like a fairly smooth rocking/wobbling motion.

It's hard to tell exactly when you hit the bumpstops, the first part of engagement is smooth-ish.

This issue is likely damping related. The PP dampers do this a little bit, but more so when they start to wear.
