Bump stops

I have some Tein springs hopefully coming in this week.

When you put loweing springs on, is it advisable to put shortened bump stops on? Remember that these Tein's lower the car a bit more than Kings so the need may be greater. Anyone know?

If I do need shortened bump stops, where the hell do I get them and what size or type do I need? The only link I could find for some bumpstops was hostileperformance but I don't have any idea of the sizes they've mentioned and I really wasn't expecing something like that to cost so much(not that I would be getting whiteline products from the UK anyway)

I never used smaller bump stops with lowering springs. Unless you actually want the car to bottom out!

Hehe...definately wouldn't want that. I was wondering about that though.

On the other hand, wouldn't lowering your car with standard bump stops reduce the amount of suspension travel before the bump stop is hit?

Where should I get a stock sized bump stop from? I believe I have at least one that needs replacing.
