I would suggest you hold off until you decide whether or  not going you are going
to create an 'S' bend. This will come after you 
have installed your seat frame and mock upholstery (crudely cut pieces of pink
foam).

I cut mine at panel height and now realize that I want the 'S' bend. Don't know
if it will be too short, hence my recommendation to  wait.

Another reason not to cut the front stick:  When I was going to send my
stick to Todd Rudberg to get bent, he needed the full length as it comes
from Van's.  In the process of bending, they needed the extra length that
would be cut off after it had the S bend in it. I ordered a new one, which
almost for sure means there is a straight one in the excess parts pile in my
shop that is cut to clear the panel.
