Standard ones would probably need cutting on 60mm, mine certainly did by about 20mm.
I suspect vauxhall would sell them if you go for standard otherwise you can buy shortened ones, FK I know sell them so I presume most suspension companies do to.

im running mazda3 sport bump stops on it atm and it runs on them all day long on the old nova springs lol.
the kit advises that the bump stops are to be cut 20mm shorter. std ones will do then i hope

my only worry would be cutting them too much and causing damage to the shocks

Hmm got a bargin there. Ive just got the same kit for £100. Do the instructions say cut them by 20mm then? As mine are second hand and dont have instructions?

Sorry if hijacking
can i just ask... do the bump stops make a difference in height ? Sorry if that sounds stupid! Buti have 40mm on back and 60mm on front and it is noticebly lower at front... so cutting the stops would make a difference on te back?
But would cutting the stops be so much hassle.. and i might aswell just get some 60mm rear springs? :-S
Mine are Gmax

u would need -60mm springs on the rear phi. the bump stops just cushion the damper as its ends its travel.
