do not buy them unless you're building a race car.
Ok., so with the springs and camber plates I don't need the bumpstops?

You need 'something' as a bump stop to decelerate suspension bits moving out of control and about to crash metal on metal.

Get the Eibach ones and cut them down.

$300-500 depending on the type of shop and location. I would also highly recommend getting an alignment as well which will typically add about $100-150 to the price.

Isn't there anything available that's just plug n play?

yup. Don't lower your car. Done.

The Eibach (Ford too?) can be cut with a hobby knife. There are even convenient grooves you can follow.

They are already pre-cut. This is from my order.

you want to cut an equivalent amount from bump stops that you're dropping the car as measured at the hub-cap, modulo motion-ratio.

Up front it's 1:1 (or close enough) so if you lower by 1" chop the stops by 1". The rear is 0.7 so for 1" drop, cut off 0.7^2 or 0.5".

It's always better to have bump-stops that are too short than too long.
Simply put and thank you!!

Update: got a quote for $450.00 for install and alignment. I trust the shop and have done business in the past with the guy. Based off everyone’s response to this post and today’s quote, I feel this is going to be the average.
