Back to Stock from Lowered - Bump Stops

Hi all,

Tried searching to no avail so would appreciate any help.

I have a GD3 on Tanabe NF210s and am going back to stock springs - a move I have to make as I'm carrying way more passengers and baggage now than I did a year ago.

Questions:
1) My bumpstops were cut when my lowering springs were installed - do I need to replace them with new ones?
2) If I need new ones, can someone please point me in the direction of a parts diagram that would identify it?
3) Based on the schematics, could you please help identify what parts I need? I can identify the bumpstop on the front, but which is the one on the rear?



I had a shop install my lowering springs, and I know the bump stops were cut, but I'm very confused as I read threads pointing out that the bump stops in the rear should be cut but I can't locate the actual bump stop based on the parts diagrams.

Thanks!

Based on the parts diagram and the item description, I don't think it has one either. What's confusing me is that I see threads here on fitfreak like https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...-cut-them.html and they specifically say to cut the rears.

Anyone else with a differing opinion?

Thanks again, Krunk!

I think the spring its self acts as a bump stop.
