[s-cars] Bilstein Sports - do I need bump stops?

[Southerlin, Russell S]

Tony and all
Thanks for all the help - you guys are great. 

What exactly is this spacer under the rear spring perch?
The only new part I got was the lower spring retaining cup.

Correct me if I am wrong but I think you might be thinking about the 1
cm spacer under the lower retaining cup - referring to Charlie Smith's
write-up.
If so then I don't think I need it because I was able to obtain the kit
that I believe does not require a rear spacer - p/n 1527.001 F, 1516.002

Talking about the rears, don't forget the spacers under the spring
perches.

Only the fronts have internal bump stops.  The instructions for the rear
say to re-use the factory bump stop.

They have internal bump stops, if you decide not to run them at all I
would suggest putting a zip tie around the strut shaft so that you know
if you do end up bottoming out.

Qheads,
I am in the process of installing Bilstein Sports with Eibach springs.

I saw on the Blau site where the suggest you cut the rubber bump stop
down 1.5 inches when installing sports.

I searched this site and saw where some suggest just removing the bump
stop.

Question - should I remove bump stop on both front and rear??

Thanks
