Suspension Installation...

Hey guys,
Im installing Tokico Illuminas Adj shocks and H&R springs.
My questions:
1) Do I need any other parts for install (new bumpstops, strut mounts)?
2) Do I need to trim my bumpstops?
3) With a 4 passengers, will the rear bottom out? If so, is there a fix?

THanks!

Your springs should come with instructions on trimming bump stops if needed.

When I pulled up the carpet liner in the trunk to replace my rear struts, noticed dust around the mount areas. After pulling brackets, found that the factory gaskets placed between the body and the bracket were wrinkled and not sealing much of anything. Made new ones out of 3/32 rubber sheet gasket material. No dust and seems quieter in the back.
