Do REAR KYB shocks need to used the factory bumpstops?

2005 aveo sedan- 120K

Go a pair of KYB gas shocks from Tire rack. The shock is the body and bare piston. I believe that I will need to use the cars stock shock piston cover when replacing. What I can not seem to determine is whether to include the large factory bump stop. I do know that if the replacement shock has it own top cover I would not use them.

any suggestions

Thanks

searched the entire forum for an answer but it eludes me.

If the new shock doesn't come with new ones, use the old ones.

Thanks seems like a plan. the only reason why i asked is that maybe the kyb shocks were valved differently than the stock shocks. But better safe than sorry thank you for all you help.

I upgraded mine with bilstein and I'm very satisfied with the result. No more bumpy ride when hitting potholes and other imperfections on the road.
