an anyone recommend some good struts to go with my new Eibach pro-kit springs? plan on putting my new springs in but since my struts that i have on now are kinda old and will wear out quickly, i wanna get some new struts that can handle the new springs. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

don't know your application but try KYB GR2's or Tokico (blues) there good for the money

I'd say go with GR2s if you want bang for the buck.

Ok, I was going to go with the KYB GR2's and Eibachs as well on my SR5, but what are these bump-stops I keep hearing about?

bump stops help cushion a collapsing suspension, preventing bottoming-out and expensive vehicle damage ; Rubber bumpers (often cone or wedge shaped) on the chassis that limit suspension travel. "Bottoming out" the suspension means hitting the bump stops.
