I just got new struts that I want to put in with my coilovers. But I also want to keep my entire OEM suspension so I can just swap them out once the snow falls. My question is what parts do I all need? Like bump stops, etc. Thanks guys

Once you get everything taken off the car and disassembled, just reassemble your stock springs and struts the way they were originally. I can't remember if there are bump stops or not.........
what i think he/she is saying is that they still want to keep the stock strut assembly intact and with the new struts and coilover sleeves is get new uppermounts and bumpstops. putting together the stock springs, struts, and uppermounts will be a real pain in the ***.
i'd suggest just getting brand new, or used if you can find some at a junkyard, uppermounts and bumpstops(just modify them for the new suspension). there, you'll have two separate suspension systems that can be swapped out easily.

Thanks again. I just wanted to make sure I only needed upper mounts and bump stops. I went to an auto parts store and they were like "Huh? You drive a what? Here are some bushings, now go away" Not really, but that was the vibe I got
