Default Bump Stops

I noticed my cushion bump stops for the rear of my 1995 TA are gone and one just fell off last week, Where I can get them? Are they even needed? I ordered this bump stop spacer from Summit Racing last week and I thought it was what I needed but I'm not sure cause it didn't have the cushion? I have 18" rims so do I need something like this? Where does this part go? Hope someone can help? Thanks

Can anyone send a pic of these on the car? Do you have the cushion bump stops because I was going to add Strano lowering springs and I don't have the cushion bump stops now?

You can see it in this pic (not my car)


Some people remove bump stops in the rear, but are at risk of blowing out the shocks, which is not worth it IMO.
Many remove the space (the silver piece between the body and the rubber bump stop) for a little more suspension travel, but I wouldn't remove the bump stop all together.

Get the Z28 bumpstops. They are better than the SS one's.

Any body have the part number. Looks like they're called Bumper Backs from GM parts direct but looked the same trans ams and Camaro's in the illustrations, Wouldn't let me look up Z28? Maybe a pic of the Z28 bumper back (Bump Stop). Thanks
