Bumpstops - For those non-Sport switching to lowering springs

[francis_a]

I've been collecting all the pieces to switch out the non-sport suspension to oem sport suspension and read that the bumpstops need to be shortened or switched out to the sports bumpstops.

Dealers had them for $45 and $55, not sure which one is Front or Rear, and that's each.

After some more digging, found a place where I got all 4 for $60 shipped -> German Auto Parts. And these guys ship fast.

Sorry it this has been posted before.

Installed a Stasis streetsports coilover from a non-sport suspension and Stasis suggested to cut the non-sport bumpstops 1 inch which is what my installer did. Have had no problems. You can alos buy the real sport ones but it'll cost more.

good find, I just installed my springs and shocks and i have a clunking sound that is because of this I think. I dunno if Im gunna try this or just say screw it and deal with the noise...

Everyone seems to say the clunks are because the top nut of the shocks is not torqued properly. These seem to be a biatch to torque. I've made my gagare tear everything apart and retorque them because I had clunks. Didn'T solve it. I seem to have a small loose in my steering rack which may be causing the noise now that suspension is more firm. Had all the steering arms checked, changed a couple that had loose in them and that also didn't fix the clunks. I am now living with them...

yeah, i read about the top bolts and made sure to torque them good, when i did the suspension. It didnt work.

There is also a bushing on the fronts where the top bolt is. It wears out over time. Did you change it also. Here's a pic:

Just find out how tall the Sport bumpstops are and just cut them to length. They are just hard foam and can be cut with a razor blade.
