My bad, I was assuming there was an issue with it.
Yeah, doing the cut is an option.

You mentioned you got them rebuilt. Was the work/re-valving done by Tein? Are you running 12Front 12Rear springs?
Tein recommends leaving 1" of thread left over, and you mentioned leaving 3/4" so i'd say thats not a big issue. Were the 12k springs by any chance shorter then the original springs?
I have the SS in their stock 7/4 rates and have only bottom out 3-4 times since i got them. If the op really upgraded them to 12k rate springs i would think they would be a lot stiffer(same as FFs).
A new upper control arm will NOT solve the issue of it banging in the upper strut mount. Going higher will or doing what some have done and cutting a small portion of the upper strut tower.
OP, do you hear a bang/thump sound...is that what you are believing to be bottoming out or???
tein and 'slamming' never go in the same sentence. i believe youve found out why.
Hmm his issue seems to be the UCA hitting. Upper control arms hit with many other coilover brands as well and isn't really for Tein Coilovers only. I believe you haven't found that out yet though it seems.
Theres no way you got low enough on teins to smack ucas
i only read the first post, my bad. you didnt have to be a douche about it, but what else should i expect from you.
