Even after you properly cut the bump stop where its suppose to be done, the only way you will hit it is if your cutting coils out of your springs. Coilovers are only designed to go to 3" below factory level and even then you will not touch it. You would have to be a stupid ass to even try to be this low. The ideal drop on J-bodys is 1.4" to where the A-arm is parellel with the ground. Anything more than its considered an agressive drop. It puts more stress on the CV shaft.

You should ask someone that owns lowered a car and did the drop themselves oversome who just relays messages that they have read and has no idea on what the ride feels like. I have ridden in an 00 sunfire with Goldline springs (1.7 F, 2.3 R) and KYB GR-2 struts. This ride was really good and the tires were always planted on the road and the bumps were a bit hard but his alpine deck never skipped once. Currently i have dropzone(1.7 F, 2.3 R) on factory struts. The ride is extremly bouncy because i don't have revavled struts to compensate for the higher spring rate. Note the fact i hate the bounce, my deck has only skipped once and it was when i hit a rather large pot hole and blew my crappy stock tire. If you do a good setup spring wise and strut combination you will be surprised on how much better your car will feel and handle. I already have my new setup for the spring whick will be Eibach Prokit(1.4") with KYB GR-2's. This setup so far has run me $550 bucks.
