dazzyvr6 0 Posted April 22, 2004 get some spax or powerflex bumpstops :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coullstar 0 Posted April 22, 2004 But they are about £15 a piece. Are they really worth it? If I remember right the rear suspenion effectively runs on the bumpstops does it not? Are the front ones as important as I have found a place where I can get front and back for about £40 but I really dont want to spend that much as I have a few things coming up which I will need the money for.

Supercharged 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Rear ones from GSF (febi) are £15 for the pair, these are the same as OE but made of rubber not foam so will last, if you are lowering the car you just need to hacksaw what you are lowering by off. DON'T buy Powerflex etc as the polyurethane is way to hard and they are too short as they are not tailored for the car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supercharged 2 Posted April 24, 2004 Just out of interest are they rubber or foam? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

olly elworthy 0 Posted May 4, 2004 the car is supposed to sit on the foam style of bumpstops all the time, they are like a spring assistor rather than just a bumpstop thats why they are about 8 inch long compared to the front ones which are simply a bumpstop and only measure in at about three inches,, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not enough people realise this unfortunately. K Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
