just curious are "Bump stops" another word for shocks?

no, the bump stops are hard foam pieces that go over the shocks and keep them from bottoming out

Hey civicxracer, the rear of my car (93 EX) sits WAY higher than my front on stock springs.

I'm looking into these cause they actually lower the back a little more.
As of now I am all stock suspension and wheels. I plan on buying new wheels, should I wait until new wheels come?
Should I consider anything else to buy? or is everything needed to get a good (and reliable) ride in the kit?

if u can wait, do it all at once. if not then i'd lower it first. 4x4 with nice wheels still dosnt look good, lowered with steelies looks better IMO. the kit comes with what u need, its pretty straight forward.
