Huh? I was saying to cut the springs after the tranny swap to lower the front back to stock ride height which would put it in exactly the same place on the struts, not the bump stops.

And "lowering" the car to return to stock height was all you listed as a goal and cutting the springs would acomplish this. You could pay for lowering springs, but why unless you plan to put the AT back in?

And I think the Spring Rubbers are actually a decent idea for the winter...
