Bump stops arn't the issue(atleast to my knowledge). Depending on which type of shocks you are going with; if its oem, its not design to be compatible with lowering spring so they are most likely to blow again on you.

Camber kits are ideal to reduce camber wear but you can get around it with just adjusting your toe when you get an alignment and flipping tires when its necessary.

^what he said. Get yourself a set of aftermarket struts. What springs are you using?

Get an alignment and have them zero out the toe.

i appreciate the fast reply guys most people never reply on here and idk i bought them off ebay along time ago i wanna say theyre h&r they are orange and the struts are sensen but im sure bump stops would save them from bottoming out?> and do you know where i could get a set?>

They cant fix your camber unless you have a camber kit.

Here.

Go get an alignment. Ask them to zero out your toes.

Some shops are ****s about lowered cars, but if you're just on springs, then it should be fine.

Don't fall for their "Oh we can't do an alignment, without a camber kit" or the "buy our camber kit + labor to install and we will align the car", if any of those occur, just go and find another shop.
