The title says it all, what size do I need?

I don't remember the rear shocks having a bump stop. I was told that the Bilstein shocks have internal bump stops.

I've searched the threads and the conclusion with those was that the rears do need external bump stops. Hopefully someone who has fitted them will comment so I know what I need. It would be good if they didn't need them but I need to be sure as its a lot harder to fit the rears than the fronts.

Either are okay. There is a lot of latitude in the rear compression travel. Very unlikely that you'll be getting into them at reasonable ride heights.

The rears should be the easier end. Assemble the spring and top mount on the bench then lift the whole coilover into place. Three bolts at the top and one at the botton.

And correct, front B6 stops are internal, rear requires external stops.

Enjoy!

Hello,
In the front I have yellow bilstein (see picture), are they B6? If so, based on what written above, I do not need bump stop.
Now I have very worn-out bump stops, can I delete them?

If the installer put in bump stops on your suspension I would expect it needs them. My Boges have front bump stops so if replacing like for like I would put bump stops in again. However I'm fitting current style B6, which don't need them.
