Default bump rubbers for koni hacksaw strut conversion

I'm about to do a koni "hacksaw" strut conversion on my S2.

I was wondering about replacement bump rubbers... I haven't seen the condition of the existing ones, but I thought it might be sensible to replace them anyway. Is this standard practice?

If so, which bumpo rubbers should I buy for replacements? Does it matter, as long as they fit?

Genuine Porsche bump rubbers are predictably expensive (~$30 each); I've seen much cheaper other brands that claim compatibility, e.g. KYB.

Advice/opinions appreciated.

koni sport bump rubbers. They are available at paragon and are stiffer than the factory bumps.

I have a set as well, and I would verify that the struts don't come with them. I believe they do.

OK - thanks. I'll contact Paragon and see what they say -- the kit they sent definitely didn't have a set in the box (but the box did look as if it had been opened at some stage.)

OK, I spoke to Paragon, and they say they definitely aren't supposed to be included. So I guess I will need to get a set, unless I want to reuse my old ones.

But I don't think I want to do that -- I think it makes sense to replace them...
