As i understand it (i understand very little) bump stops go inside the spring to prevent bumping when it compresses. Do you mean bump stop spacer? If so does anybody know what size spacer should i use since i don't know how much the spring will compress with the car on it.
Thanks

I understand they will compress when i lower the car on them... but wount they decompress when i lift the car or go over a bump?

From search:
Joe, 98SEBlackMax went all out with the helper springs. What this does is keep the spring seated at all times. The GC springs are short, 7" up front. When the wheels come off the ground the spring can become loose and unseated. Not entirely necessary for daily use, though some states check springs during inspections and you can fail if they are loose.
dont forget to add your bumpstops or you will kill your konis real fast.. the sleeve over the strut coilovers are always short but they are really stiff. the cars weight will compress it and unless you are driving off ramps it should not decompress.
