I have steeda adjustable bump stops on my base stock shocks will they work? I see people using BMW ones. Anything else I need. Not upgrading the rear shock mounts. Taking to shop to install.


Thanks

anything will work. just shorten them up (arrange stack) to be less than 35mm with a min of about 20mm.

The rears won't work. You don't need them for the front.

What is the part # for the BMW ones? Anyone else think the steeda adjustables will not work on the rear shocks?

The steeda "don't work" because the inner bore is too small I believe. Take an Xacto knife and slit the ID and you can shove them on.

Just curious, what torque specs did you guys used for the front strut center nut on your Bilsteins?

Thank you! The reason I asked was that in the Bilstein's installation manual, it calls for 54 ft lb for the M14 thread size which is a bit lower than the 76 ft lb that Ford call for.

I would follow Bilstein spec that's 30% lower than the Ford spec which is super weird.
