    i'm not sure any exist,I dont currently have them on my Bilsteins and the only way to make some is to use the existing OEM bumpstops and make the shaft hole larger to accept the bigger shock

      Guys:

      You dont need them, due to the design of the bilstein front struts....

        What!!!

        Do OEM Blue top mounts don't fit with Bilsteins?

        I have heard that at QRSport do have some rose joint top mounts that somebody fitted with bilstein.

        If you find more info please share as I will need the same as you.

        What about the rear?

        Cheers

          Gents:

          I think that we are confusing the external bump stops that are on the strut shaft ( foam or poly) with the topmounts /strut bearings.

          Due to their design, the fron bilstein strut cartridges DO NOT require external bump stops.

            The bump stop is different from the top mount. so Don't worry.

              Yeah exactly, the blue top mounts are fine with them but the bumpstops are either not available or you will need to try and modify an OEM one.

                  p.s. If you want to try modifying some OEM ones I have 4 new ones still in packaging from when I bought my Bilsteins but when i realised they didnt fit I didnt get around to making them bigger so if you have the time and want to try Pm me and we can sort out a (cheap) price for them

                  Cheers
