Default Bilstien B8 Install, front bump stops required?
I saw some comments saying that the front bump stops were not used on the B8 install with sport springs. Anybody care to elaborate on this?

I reinstalled the bump stops when I installed these shocks with lowering springs last summer, I'm pretty sure the instructions with the shocks said to do so.

After i posted i remembered that the B8 shock body is shortened for exactly this reason, to make room for the bump stop at the lowered height.

Thanks for the response.
