Help which Bumpstops for Eibach/Koni Yellow Non-M

I have recently joined the forum, but have been reading the posts for over a year now, there is so much information because of everyone!

I am trying to figure out which bump stops to use both in the front and the rear when installing Eibach with Koni on a non-M (06 3.0si roadster).

Would it be the BMW Base suspension bump stops, BMW M-sport suspension bumpstops, something else or the above cut/modified.

Let me know how have you all gone about this in your setup. I tried reading through multiple forums but couldnot find an answer. Thank you!

Contact Koni and ask them if the shocks have internal bump stops, some after market shocks have them internally.

I checked across a couple of BMW forums and it seems that Konis need bumpstops, unlike Bilstiens that have them built in.

I will still reach out to Koni. I have also read that bumpstops are complementory to the springs that are used, in this case Eibach

Koni mentioned that "That Sport Dampers are designed to reuse the factory OE bumpstops form the stock struts and shocks. There are no built in bumpstops to any KONI shocks."

Folks who run eibach, do you use base suspension bumpstops or m-sport suspension bumpstops?

Since your car is lowered I'd go with the M-Sport bump stops.
