fla 9 Posted September 5, 2020 Took out the front shocks to change the top mounts and found the bump stops had split. A couple of questions Which MK4 front bump stops are suggested? Which end are the cut from? Any recommendations eg febi (definitely not topran!) Which rear bump stops and where should these be cut down from? Mine is lowered about 40mm Thanks.

vw rule 19 Posted October 20, 2020 Hi Hasan, from memory I think lowering a Corrado suspension by 35mm using just lowering springs, you've still just got some clearance travel between the bump stop and shock, but dropping down to 40mm plus then you'll be right on the bump stops with no clearance travel, so this will fail the MOT as it's seen as being dangerous, due to the lack of suspension travel. It's not advisable to cut down the bump stop, plus there's full rubber ones and foam ones I think, if you are going to cut down a bump stop then ideally it'll need to be the full rubber type, as they're stronger and won't fall apart or weaken when they're cut. You'll need to cut along the bottom not the top, and it'll need to be a straight cut as best you can, otherwise the bump stop won't sit flat and may split or bulge out to one side. I'll see if I can find any old threads on this subject or any other info. Si Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
