Coil overs comes with their own bump stops. I don't think you are suppose to mess with them.

Default YES REPLACE THE STRUT MOUNTS
The updated part is a new number actually - different last letter only IIRC. It's beefier than the stock one which will be DONE soon after coilovers if not now.

Am I correct in presuming that to replace my clunking strut mounts, I must remove the suspension?
