Confused with the bump stops

gunnerxq · 02-22-2016, 07:46 PM

So i am getting some bilstein B8's for the rear and was wondering what's up with the bump stops? Some people are saying to get the Z4 bump stops others are saying that bilstein comes with them. If it does will I need to trim them?

I'm staying with my Eibach pro-kit springs,.

So the rears came with included bumpstops. And so did the front. Wasted $40 for the z4 bumpstops.

That's good to know. How to do you like the B12 setup? I'm really considering switching the this when my stockers go bad. They already feel pretty soft for msport suspension so may be pretty soon...

B8 front struts come with internal bump stops and the rear shocks come with external bump stops from Bilstein. No need to buy bump stops from BMW.
