Found a new bump stop option.

[FunctionSpec]

15k mile Bilstein update: the driver side front strut is now blown. Took apart the suspension to diagnose a loud clunk sound when turning right into driveways. Strut had zero rebound dampening and barely any compression dampening. You can hear a piece of metal rattling around when flipping the strut upside down. It also clunked when checking the shaft for play which is what I think caused the noise. Sucks I can't warranty these out since I bought them second hand. Oh well, bought another bilstein strut, hopefully they'll last but we'll see.

Oh and the new bumpstops still look good and are holding up very well so far.

Very interesting update, thank you. I sub'd to this thread for when the time comes to replace my factory shocks/struts. Happy to hear the bump stops are holding up but concerning to hear about the blown Bilstein. That's what I was thinking about going with. Hopefully it's just an abuse by previous owner thing and not indicative of the quality of those struts overall.
