Lowered bump stops?

Post by Shhtuart »

Well my front left shock is fried and I'm looking at replacing it along with the bump stop that's destroyed too.

It's sitting on lowered RSR springs.

I can't find a part number for the stops does anyone have any idea?

They have 4 different types but they don't specify which ones are for lowered applications.

Who replaces bump stops? It's like replacing the plastic guarding under the engine, rip it off & be done with it! :lol:

It shouldnt really get smashed anyway. Only if the car is f**king low and the shocks are fucked.

Unless you live in Sydney where the road is as smooth as a 14 year olds face, don't bother with them.
