can someone please tell me what these do? and if I change my suspension to tein springs and illumina shocks if i should upgrade to 93+ bumpstops (apparently they are shorter?) and where would be the best place to get these?

they keep your shocks from bottoming out. When i put coilovers in i just cut mine in half. The idea is if they are the stock size, when you lower the car and reduce travel, that bump stop is proportionaly too big. With the stocker in there, if you lower it 3 inches, you could end up with way too little travel, meaning you will hit the bump stops on every bump in the road, and when you do, it is loud, hard and very uncomfortable. cut them, or get shorter ones and you will let the springs do the work instead. I dunno where to get these other bump stops, i guess just ask at your favorite shop.
