Default Which bumpstops?

I installed a Roush stage 2 suspension kit on my car shortly after I got it. The kit come with roush springs and 1/2" shorter front and rear bumpstops made by KW. I also still have the stock bumpstops.

I am replacing the roush springs with some Steeda Competition springs. Should I use the shorter Roush bumpstops for increased suspension travel and ride quality on the streets? Or should I use the stock, taller bumpstops? I would prefer to use the shorter ones to maintain ride quality, but if the new springs were designed to be used with the stock bumpstops, maybe I should use those. Any thoughts on this?

I asked Sam Strano about the stock bump stops on my car after I installed the Steeda sport springs. He told me to leave them alone.

Did that make a difference for the better, Stoenr? Any drawbacks for daily driving?

Don't notice any change unless you hit a good dip, then the rear will bottom out with a slight bang, do not see any damage.
