When installing the bilstein Sport struts do you reuse the bump stop? Anything else OEM reused? Thanks guys...

I'm pretty sure if Bilstein didn't provide a new bump stop, you should use the factory ones again. I didn't install the Audi suspension because I was short on time but I did install my other suspensions on previous cars. I wish I could help some more.

i know that if you have stock NON-SPORT, to get the intended performance out of the shocks, you should change to the SPORT bumpstops. If you have SPORT bumpstops already, you should be good.

i am going with Bilstein/H+R setup for my B6 and i just purchased front and rear SPORT bumpstops for the upgrade.

The reason is because most aftermarket companies design their products with the SPORT suspension in mind. The SPORT bumpstops are about half an inch and 3/4 inch shorter than the NON-SPORT bumpstops for the front and rear respectively, i believe.

Good luck.

thanks for your help guys... i just cut the stock bumpstops in half like i have previously on other cars and installed them that way... if anything goes wrong i will inform you guys for future installers sake.
cheers...
