Collecting parts for spring install
So I've been collecting parts to install my Bmr springs, slp bilsteins, control arms relo brackets, umi TA...and so on
My plan is to get all new everything for the front so I can just remove old junk and install new stuff to make install quicker. So far I'm getting new strut mounts, lower spring seat, isolators... But now I need bump stops.
Are stock style bump stops ok to use with the lowering springs?
Was going to get moog k90462, on rock auto it lists them as a shock bellow with bumper... I guess that's the bump stop?
What do you guys recommend?

Searching around i dont see anything about a front bumpstop. But did find this thread on ls1tech. Might help, not sure.
Looks like its just a dust boot for the shock. Incase the shocks your getting doesnt have a cover. But i dont know. I have not ordered on for my new setup. Havent seen anything about getting one, until now. Any one enlighten me on this.

The rear bump stops tend to crumble like the the dreams of a Civic owner. haha jk But if you're looking to keep bump stops on the car, it's probably a good idea to replace them while you're under it. Many people have moved onto the bumpstops off the Jeep and can order a poly replacement.

If your still talking about for the front I found this old quote "If you don't have the front stock dust boots, you'll need either an OEM bumpstop or a similar aftermarket replacement, and a large flat washer with an ID that will allow it to sit on the "step" on the front shock shaft. Moog and KYB both have replacement front dust boots and bumpstops ($15 per at Rock Auto, $25 per at Advance), although I'm not completely sure if they come with the large washer for the shock shaft".
I plan to reuse my original dust boot/stop on my new setup.
