Bump stops or not?

gunnerxq · 02-22-2016, 09:01 PM

So i am getting some bilstein B8's for the rear and was wondering what's up with the bump stops? Some people are saying to get the Z4 bump stops others are saying that bilstein comes with them. If it does will I need to trim them?

I'm staying with my Eibach pro-kit springs.

No need for extra bumpstops with b6/b8 struts.

I know about the struts but what about the shocks?

They should come with bumpstops. People recommend Z4 and e36 m3 bumpstops if you are lowering the car.

and using non-bilstein shocks. the bilstein b6 and b8 units both front and rear come with their own specific bumpstops. the fronts are internal the rears are underneath the blue dust caps.
