Default Tactical retreat; need Koni bump stops

I've put my old struts back in the car just to get mobile again; the Koni conversion has stalled until I can get at least two Koni bump stops, and preferably, two strut dust covers for the Konis.

I've also been looking at the adjustable ride height coil over kit from paragon -- maybe I should go the whole hog. I notice I'd even get a set of bump stops with the kit...

So: anyone got a set of Koni bump stops, possibly dust covers, or even a coil over kit they want to move along? Just so I can get my "hacksaw Koni" plans moving along?

Factory struts have one piece bump stop/dust cover. At least my 88 944S had them.

When I installed Konis to my 944S I used the old one piece bump stop/dust cover that was used with old strut.

I don't have factory struts. i have what looks like a one-off "hacksaw Bilstein" conversion (see earlier thread). I don't currently have any bump stops installed at all, and the blue Bilstein dust covers don't fit the Konis very well.

I know. I just pointed out that you do not need Koni bump stops and that old factory ones can be used. You should get them from one of those parts threads.

Paragon also has the bump stops...2 types I believe, one for around $8 and one for about $17-20.

They also carry 2 or 3 types/styles of dust boots, although like Lorax mentioned they are not really necessary
