Lowering springs and bump stops survey

Those that have installed lowering springs. I'm just curious as to how many people have retained the unmodified factory bump stops, replaced with new shorter bump stops and how many modified or shortened the factory pieces when installing their springs.

What I'm even more interested is the effect on damping characteristics of the suspension with unmodified pieces versus shortened bumpstops coupled with shorter stiffer springs. So if anyone has had experience or even "theories" please chime in.
