Thats what I thought.. You think my old struts have the same bump stops as seen below? I tried searching for a new one.. but no luck.

Your stock shocks also have them. You may have to cut them shorter to use with your coilovers.

never ever shorten a bump stop, they are to limit the travel of the shock so they dont blow out instantly.
