Default quick question about tokico illuminas...

im about to install my struts but had a question..i know i'm suppost to re-use the bumpstops in the front (trimmed half way?!?) but the rear illumina struts look like they already have bumpstops on the shaft??? i posted a picture


is that the bumpstop for the rear?? (yellow looking thing at the start of the shaft?) and if so then i dont need to re-use them on from the stock struts correct?

thanks

thats a bumpstop alright but i dont know if yuo need to trim that one or not, just measure it up to your rear one and if it looks to be about half then it should be good to go but if not trim it up a little. hope that helps. at least its a free bump for ya
