Default to BUMP STOP or not?

Frustrated here, been waiting a week for my Koni/GrondControl combo, well it came in and i'm STOKED!! But no bumpstops, if i woulda known i woulda ordered them along with the kit, guess i'll order them and wait another 4-5 days, maybe the local shops will carry them, unless they've gotta be Koni's. Or will i be OK with out them, or is that not suggested. Sorry i'm a NOOB,, heh,heh,..

I'm on Falken 205/40/16, Spring Rates are 450F/350R gunna lower till no fender gap.. Thx for your INSIGHT!!..

You should already have OEM bump stops on your car? Just cut them shorter?

The koni/GC combo doesn't come with bumpstops, if you got the GC tophats, it would of came with the bumpstops.

Since you're going to be using the old tophats, which is what I am assuming, reuse your old bumpstops and cut them like bnetkillzone mentions.

Rather than cut them, you could always purchase a set of good bump stops. Cutting OEM bump stops will increase travel, but when the bump stops engage, they'll increase spring rates exponentially the shorter you cut them.
