Rear Bump Stops

Guys/Gals,
I am upgrading real soon to TTM Wheels with 17x10.5 in the rear wrapped in 315 35R 17's. Today I removed the old wheels to paint the calipers and noticed my rear bump stops are completely rotted off, so I just unbolted them. I am currently running the Eibach Pro kit and was wondering do I need to replace these are should I just leave em' out cause will they cause rubbing issues with the new tires? If I stick with em' is this something I can pickup at my local AZ or O'Reilley's? Any help is much appreciated.

New bump stops will not interfere with the TTM's. I just put a set on my 95 Z and it is not even close. New bump stops would be a very good idea. Consider it part of the suspension.

OVer-compress the rear suspension on a hard bump, without the bump stops and you'll destroy your shocks.

Ok, you guys have sold me and I'm gonna get some more. The old ones are completely rotted off and I can't seem to find any on Jegs, Summit or at my local parts store. Is this something I'm gonna have to get from GM? If not, then does Energy Suspension or Prothane make some poly replacements for better durability and less likely to rot as the stock pieces did?
