I have Eibach springs and Koni yellow inserts. I've just had the struts rebuilt as the inserts were never fitted correctly in the first place, new top bearings etc.

I'm wondering if the standard bump stops work OK with Eibachs or do they need to be cut down? I have cut down OE stops, they seem fine but they are very short and I don't think they do much at all. I'd rather fit some new Koni stops. I'm wondering if anyone has measured it up correctly and know what length to buy? They make 55mm stops which seem about right, there are shorter ones too.

Standard bump stops and dust covers can be used with the koni inserts but you'll need to reduce the bump stop length by cutting off the lower doughnut.

Thanks for that

Mine have had both doughnuts cut off. With one cut off it would measure around 50-60mm. Ive ordered some 55mm Koni bump stops, to my surprise they are reasonably priced.
