they don't have bump stops......

they have polyurethane BUSHINGS that come with the sway bar...

there's no such thing as a polyurethane bump stop....

The bump stops from Hotchkis are smaller in height compared to the stockers if I remember correctly. IDK if they have a difference in function.

Straight from trdsparks.com and every description of hotchkis lowering springs.

"Hotchkis Tuning Sport coils offer the performance you seek, and the comfortable ride you deserve. Made from cold wound silicon steel, Hotchkis springs are linear rate, powder coated seabring silver and include polyurethane bump stops. The ride is a little firmer than stock and retains excellent ride quality. Best when combined with our sway bars."

i've usually just cut the stock bump stops.

guess i was wrong about hotchki's not having bump stops... but totally unneccessary nonetheless.... just cut and reuse your stock ones.
