Ok to remove bumpstops?
Just take them out. Unless you plan on taking the car airborne......then in that case leave them in.
If it bothers you not having them there, you can always get bumpstops that go around the shock shaft. Like the ones you find on aftermarket Koni's
Good luck,

To clarify your response, I will say that the axle will hit the exhaust pipe, first, then the DeCarbon shocks will bottom internally.
I ran 315's for a quite a while at stock height with no bumpstops and had no problems, I also measured the rear travel just to make sure. I did a whole write up if anyone is interested.
