new spring... and a new question

...
My idea of slicing the bump stop and gluing it once it was in place on the shock worked perfectly. 
...

Probably a good idea to ziptie the bump stop as well?  Hard to imagine that glue could keep it together if/when it gets hammered by the shock body and needs to do its job.  Congrats on finishing the task.  Beer time!

good thought on the zip tie idea.   

I actually contemplated skipping the glue all together because it is actually very durable even with the slice in it.  I think it would stay in place no matter what due to the fact that in the event of needing the bump stop, the spring compresses evenly on it.  That should keep it from ever pressing completely off the shaft.  Nonetheless I used glue that is semi flexible when dry so if it does take a hit the glue should hold.

just a question, but how much does re-powdercoating a spring effect the spring rate?  I would figure an extended bake at 400 deg would alter the rate of the spring somehow.  I know the springs are PC'd from the factory (well, eibach does, pretty sure hypercoil does as well).  I'd like a black spring, seeing as though I can't find a Ti one 

That's not nearly hot enough to effect the temper of steel.  The annealing temperature is around 1080 degrees.

I've done quite a bit of annealing at more like 600F. I'd just check the powder coater and the Spring maker.
Depending on the steel, you could de-temper it altogether changing it's spring rate.
