MM CC Plates & Bilstein Install Question

[WHITE NA97]

Does anyone who has done this have a diagram of the order that all the pieces go on? I am nearing the end of the install but something doesn't seem right. The diagram that came with the MM CC plates shows only for the stock struts. Do I need the Urethane Black bumpstop that came with the CC plates? Does the cone-shaped end go up or down? Any help is much appreciated!

I think it would be best to call MM and ask since you've had two conflicting pieces of advice.

I have exactly the same set-up, do NOT use the bumpstops (unless as a door stop:rolling

Call MM and ask. They sell Bilstein, so they can give you a specific answer on the bumpstops and the spacer application.

It's ovious you did not read the distructions.
If you go to MM site the directions are right there.
whty98 is right!

Here is what I copied and pasted here from MM site.

NOTE: The factory dust boot and MM bumpstops are
NOT used in coil-over applications. If using Bilstein
struts, the MM bumpstops and the factory dust boots
are not used. Bilstein struts have internal bumpstops
and their own dust boots. For replacement dust boots
for Bilstein struts, you can order a Service-6 kit from
MM for conventional spring applications, or a Service-7
kit for coil over applications.

Thanks. The bumpstops are on right now. I figured I could easily cut them off from the top rather than having to take the entire car apart to put them on if it was necessary. It drives perfect with them on but will take them off. Thanks for all the help. Pics to be posted tonight or tomorrow. It is an amazing difference.
