Default Rear Konis bump stops

I pulled all my shock absorbers (Koni M030) and have them checked by specialist shop - they turned out to be in very good condition. The only thing that needs attention are the bump stops. I have new ones for the front from Paragon but cannot find anything for rears? Where to looks for them? On the other hand - are they necessary?
I was little surprised when found out that the dust boots for fronts costs $30 each... Huh, that's a lot, usually these cost few bucks... Can something else be used from other brand? Any experience?

Koni Bump Rubbers - http://www.koniracing.com/bumpstops.cfm
Penske - http://shop.penskeshocks.com/BUMP-RUBBER/
They are necessary.

Cheers,
Mike

OK, thanks. Rod size is 12mm (11.8 to be precise). Which one should I use - 12 or 14mm size - if it matters at all? And what length?

You can use these:

http://www.paragon-products.com/Bump...i-70.34.53.htm

They have a smaller hole than the ones you have for the front. You'll need to slice it down the side to install. Or, we can get you the standard replacement bump rubber that comes with the 8040-1035 Sport.

Jason I think I'll go for standard rubber stops for 1035 shocks. I'll contact you in couple of weeks time when I'm back in LA. Thank you very much for your input!
