Do you use stock bushing for coilovers?
Hi,
I am installing H & R coilovers.
I'm pretty sure the front don't need any bushing.
Do the rears need the stock bushing or stock cut short bushing like when using N&M engineer lowered springs?
Thanks,
-Mike

If the H&R do not come with any for the rear, you should reuse stock. I would cut them a little bit, not too much.

Front do not need anything since they are internal.

Check out the FCM bumpstops. Perhaps overkill for the street, but not for autocross or track!
