Got the car apart tonight. The instructions said to use bumpstops. My car on oe springs didn't have any anyhow. I think I will just run without them and see how she does......Comment

Always use bumpstops. Unless you want potential premature wear on the shocks.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Do you have to order the bumpstops separately? Bc a friend of mine ordered his and they arrived sans bumpstops.Originally posted by ebelements

bilstein sports do not require a bumpstop, it has one built internally. it will not prematurely wear the struts/shocks if you dont run one externally.
have a nice day.Comment

My fronts bottom out more than my rears do, and my rear GCs are spun all the way down. Fronts are 3/4 down.
So basically, it doesnt matter. Use what you want.

The instructions also say to not use oil in the strut housing. I was to lazy to poor my fluid out. Is there any bad about leazing it in there?Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

HOW THE HELL do you put bump stops on Sports? i can see how on HD's and Touringm but on Sports? The shaft is so freaking wide, and they should have come with the blue boot around them that doesn't allow you to use a bump stop.
What are you guys buying? eBay stuff?Comment

OH, and for the rears, if your car is low enough, you shouldn't ever use bilstein sports. With H&R Race, i had very little room for the shock to travel, so they're practically bottomed out all the time anyway. Use shock mount reinforcements, as you will need them soon.
And you still never need bump stops, unless your trailing arm travels past your upper spring perch.Comment
