    ? about KYB strut inserts

    So I bought some KYB inserts and the only instructions that came with them is a sheet of pictographs. Virtually useless! Anyway, I am wanting to know if I am supposed to install all the bump stops and dust shields like the OE shocks or do I leave them out like I did when I put bilsteins on another car? The shocks look to have the same diameter polished shaft as the OE shocks so I figured it wouldn't hurt, but these are gas shocks and I thought they might need a longer length of travel. What say you?
    The difference between porcupines and BMWs is that porcupines have the pricks on the outside!

    Yes you should install bump stops and shields on KYBs as they don't have built-in ones. Hope you're not planning on lowering your car, as they lasted only about 5k miles when I had them on with Eibachs.
