H&R Coilovers install help!

[coh661]

Can anyone who did their own H&R coilover install confirm whether the below parts in red are required to be transferred over from the stock assembly? I'm sure the bump stop (item 9) isn't needed due to the H&R inverted design but I'm not sure about the support washer (item 6). The washer appears to support the bump stop so I'm thinking it may not be needed since there won't be a bump there anymore but on the other hand the washer appears to shield the bearing from potential debris. Would like to know for sure before I install everything. Any help is appreciated.

I don't remember I checked my box of stock susp parts, I couldn't find the washers but I found the bump stops. I assume that means I reinstalled the washers, but really I have no idea... must be getting old sorry I can't be of more help to you

Thanks for the response. I had a chat with H&R service tech today. He confirmed that the bump stop wasn't needed for the fronts but the washer was. Can't believe the coilovers came with virtually no directions. I went ahead and finished the install, wasn't too bad actually. Can't wait to do the adjustments to dial the ride height in

On my second set of H&Rs now with my second Z4M, love 'em!
