FWIW, on my MPerf coilovers even at oem ride height settings, there was plenty of free movement of strut damper rod before the b/stop came into play., enabling combo of v firm springs and good damping tweaks to be effective.

Not so at the rear, damper stroke minimal before rear b/stops came into play but prohibiting the damper effectiveness and weight transfer to the rear.

Trimmed 10mm off both rear bumpstops allows more damper stroke. With tweaking the damper settings, my car has more rear wheel travel with effective damping which translates to far better use of tyres - more traction and conering grip. In general, my car's manners have improved too esp if pedalling along a bumpy A or B road - both ends of the cars working more cohesively than before whether 1 up or 4 up.
