    Question on reassembly of front strut with Koni Sport and HR Sport

    Need some help with Koni Sports assembly.
    I had these for a few years and now finally decided to install.
    1988 325e sedan.
    I read all the threads on bumpstops/koni etc... and gathered that I need for the front but not the rear.

    If anyone has done this before, can you look over the pics below and let me know if I have the parts in the proper sequence?

    - is that the proper direction for the bumpstop?
    I bought this one from fcp: BMW Strut Bump Stop - Genuine BMW 31331133513

    - i assume the white washer is needed?
    - i added 25 ml of transmission oil inside the e30 strut housing
    - is additional grease needed under the mount where the bearings show?

    as that bump stop is meant for stock ride height - you could cut it down for a little extra travel, at the first "ring". It'll still provide protection, but you won't be literally riding on the bump stops every time you hit a dip.

    Otherwise it looks fine to me.
