Bump stops prevent your suspension from compressing too far.
What condition are they in? if they are still intact then you should be ok.

all done the rear of my car was in much worse condition than front.

feels really good can be done easily in a day on your own for a1st time effort,

only special items you need is the lug nut thing for the front (GSF) and spring clamps (halfords).

took it for a proper spin earlier and i noticed i'm getting some tire squeal at the back when cornering hard, is that down to the new firmer mounts  all round, i cant seem to carry as much speed? all though the ride now is so much nicer/controlled
