Default Missing bumpstops?

New to the civic world and while taking apart my 95 civic's suspension, I noticed that there were no bumpstops. The springs had been replaced with Eibach lowering springs but there were no bumpstops on the shock. Is it common or necessary to remove the bumpstops when putting these lowering springs on?

Thanks

with lowering springs, stock bump stocks are trimmed, never heard of throwing away bumpstop on stock shocks.

Thanks for the replies...

I'm really not sure what this guy was thinking. One side is honda stock (it appears) the other is a blue colored shock with "made in England" on it but no other identification.

In addition, the shocks appear to be too long if that's possible. They are hitting the top of the wheel well.

I'm now just looking for some front shocks to use with the Eibach sportline springs that are in front...

Thanks
