During my inspection on My 2008 c2s with under 48k miles, notice the bump stop is broken into 2 pieces
where is a good place to order beside the dealer? FCP euro?
while I’m replacing the bump stop, I will be lowering the car with lowering springs.
which brand is good. I have no intention to track or DE the car
I would be comfortable buying replacement bump stops from either Pelican or FCP Euro. Can't recommend lowering kits -- I have kept the stock suspension on my 911.
The main two options are H&R and eibach. I think the H&R set drops 1.25" while the eibach drops it about a 1.00". I think H&R is the more popular choice if I had to guess. Thats what I have.

as 63Mercedes said your primary choices, that I'm aware of, are Eibach & H&R. I think it's pretty much personal preference on how much of a drop you want and likely also what wheels you have on the car. I'm planning to go Eibach as I've read some reviews that H&R may be a little too low depending on your setup. Along with bump stops, you might also change out the boots and possibly the top mounts since they have to come out anyway.
I buy 90% of my stuff from FCPEuro and have had very good luck with them.

If you are staying w/the stock springs then go with the original bumpstops.
However, if you are going with lowering springs I'd highly recommend sourcing bumpstops for the SPASM suspension to give yourself some extra wheel travel "off of" the bump stops. Otherwise the lowering springs are going to put you "into" the OE bumpstops quite quickly and result in a harsh/unpredictable ride. The other option is to trim the bumpstops to give yourself the space but that's a guessing game at best.

I'm about to go the Einbach springs with Bilstein B4 shocks route all around. I was going to change the bumpstops with OEM units but in light of your comment I'm reevaluating that aspect.
Hence, can you please provide more information and where to buy the SPASM bumpstops that you reference. Should it bear relevance my car is a 2009 997.2 C2 (not "S") WITHOUT PASM!
The Bilstein/Eibach pro kit comes with new bump stops. Front ones are not visible. I recommend new mounts all around. Mine were noisy and probably broken even though they looked ok(20k miles). Loud during down shifts..sounded like metal on metal.
Does lower the car but not much. I am not a stance-ologist however.
