Bumpstops for Swift/Bilstein
I'll be replacing my stock springs/struts for Bilstein HD/Swift Spec R combo. Do I just reuse the bumpstops off of my stock KYB's or is there an upgrade that is recommended?

I've read through numerous threads about this and most say keep the stock bump stops or cut the attached boot off of them.
Personally I've always run Koni bumpstops on past cars with great results but the majority say it's not necessary.
I'll be installing the same setup, minus the HD's, I'll be using a revalved/rebuilt set of OEM shock/struts.
Good luck.

Do the bumpstops even need to be upgraded? If not I'll just stick with stock.
I did find the Koni bumpstops though in case anyone finds this thread in a search and would be interested: http://www.koniracing.com/bumpstops.cfm

Just installed my re-valved Bilsteins with Swift Spec-R's. I ordered all new parts from the factory to include all bolts, bushings, bumpstops, nuts, etc.
I've had it on for a day and a half now, all driving has been done around town, so very bumpy streets, potholes, etc and I haven't bottomed out once or compressed to the stop bumpstop.
I'd say still with the stock pieces, they're not that much larger than the koni's once you remove the dust boot and get your hands on them.
