Coilovers do not use dustboots but still require bumpstops.

Use the stock ones and cut them.

Do you see the title under your name? It says that you need to read the FAQs. Heed this advice. The information that you seek is all in the FAQs.

All prices are the same w/in about $5 for the set. Local auto parts stores will be the same price as online, but ther eis no waiting and no shipping charges.

Check out the Motivational rear shock mounts. They are supposed to provide 1" more travel for the rear shocks;

Also investigate the strut bushings/bearings (cant' remember which) If you have a +100k mile car you may need new ones and you may as well do it at the same time.

Sounds like you are doing it right. Good luck.

That's what I did, use the bumpstops but the bstops doesn't give a full coverage to the struts, I can still see the inner part a bit. I think dust still can get in there pretty easy.
