Default QA1 Front Coil-Over Question???
Hey guys, quick question about my newly installed front QA1's. Is it necessary and/or possible to reuse the factory bump stops?

You could reuse the factory bumpstops, but for it to do you any good you'll need to use 2 on each shock

Ok then my next question would be if most people just run without bump stops?

No stops on mine. 275 springs with some weight removal. ~3 years of DD operation. No issues.

Go to page 13, you can see where they installed a ES bumpstop.
