Found a new bump stop option.

Even if Bilstein went to trouble of building a Yaris specific strut it would not have been built around your Tein springs - and you can assume by the Tein instructions they expect you to be using OE struts.

I would use the OE stop or put a spacer in that lets the aftermarket bump stop do its job. You could still trim it a little, but it needs to protect the strut.

Gotcha, thanks for the input.

To clarify, I'm not the OP and that wasn't my picture. I'm just in a similar position where I'm running Tein S. Tech springs and am about to replace the OEM shocks/struts with the B8's. I'm happy to buy the FEBI stops, new OEM stops and use at full size or new OEM stops and cut. Just trying to find the ideal setup.

Since my B8 struts will be new in-box, I'm going to wait to see if a stop is included. If so, what size and go from there.

Any updates?

Mine were new in-box, all they came with were the nuts for the top of the shocks. No bumpstop included

Thanks for checking in. Between work and life, I haven't looked at Jegs or one of the other usual suspects for better than OEM bump stops and top mounts, so I haven't installed the B8's yet.

Worst case, I know I can go with a fresh set of OEM stops and mounts and just cut the stops like I did when I installed the springs.
