You don't need bump stops the fronts are internal & the rear come with them.

You don't need them... the Eibach springs will lower the car.

19mm strut socket
Spring compressor

If I’m going from a stock sport suspension to the B12 kit will my sway bar links need to be changed to adjustable sway bar links?
Do I have to change the Control Arm Bolts and Locking Nuts or can I just use some blue lock tight on the old ones and reuse them? California Car.
With 70k miles am I likely to need to replace the Coil Spring Shims? |
For the sway bar links you should be fine, there's not a huge difference in height between the two.
Its always good to replace the bolts. I didn't, I live in western colorado though so its fairly dry. If yours aren't rusted badly you should be okay there too.
I was going to replace my coil spring shims but the new ones ended up being different, so I reused my old ones (140k miles on them) and haven't had any issues
