Do I need bump stops for a set of Skunk2 full coilover, the kit didn't come with any. I'm planning to drop a TSX.

Wait, don't full coilovers come assembled with top hats and all?

I just called Skunk2 and they said I need a set of bump stops.

Pfft...unless you're dropping more than 2" or rally racing around some crazy dunes then you wont need them. Trust me.

They're stiff enough to tackle bad roads. You'll be uncomfortable as hell over rough asphalt, but you're not going to bottom out. Not even close.

Edit: My experience is with a Teg, I only just noticed you're fitting them onto a TSX.

If Skunk2 told you that you need bump stops, then put bump stops on them.

You don't want to bottom out the dampers internally and damage them, because you'll be SOL when you have to buy another set.
