Koni's do not have internal bumpstops like Bilsteins. You will need to get factory stops.

Depending on the springs you have, you may need to cut them down. If so, be sure to cut the little groove in the top, it's there to let the air out. Without the groove, the stops will be very hard (I've heard it described as a "pogostick").
