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.
