Does this kit comes with shorter bump stops or do we reuse our factory ones?

Thanks

If memory serves me correct stock ones, but I love these springs. Great ride and exact height I wanted. I have the PP and I put 25mm spacers all around, I had to lean the rear tires in a little just to make sure they didnt rub, which worked but the rear end got all squirrely and handles like shit at higher speeds.

Ordered 20mm spacers for the rear to give me the room to straighten up the rear wheels and all should be well after that.

So they added camber?

Yes, I asked them to, not knowing it would make such a drastic difference in handling. Stock is usually 1-1.5* of neg camber and we went to 3*. It still tracks straight and is drivable, but at higher speeds any little bump or road imperfection makes you pucker up a little as it gets squirrely. New spacers for the rear should be here on Saturday and hoping to get into the shop Monday. I will try to follow up and verify this fixed it.
