S-line suspension bump stops vs non S.

**jc_333** · 11-10-2008 11:03 PM

Hi

Need some advice as I have the below S line suspension setup which I will install on my non S sline. However, I am missing the correct bump stops which I believe are shorter than the ones on my car. Question is should I buy new shorter bump stops or just cut the longer ones I have now to match? I think the S line bump stops are 1cm shorter at front and 2cm at back, is that correct?

Front shock: 8E0 413 031 CL
Front spring: 8E0 411 105 CH Markings blue/white/green

Rear shock: 8E0 513 033H
Rear spring: 8E0 51 115 DK Markings blue/pink

Thanks

I cut ~2.5 cm from my non sport bump stops, front and rear, being the amount of drop with the new springs, cutting out a middle section and rejoined the two ends using polyurethane glue. the two cuts where made so that the glued joint was the same diameter on both sides.

Hi

Is it not possible to just cut from the bottom or top?

How much were the new bump stops and shorter by non S by?

Thanks a lot

Sure, that is possible, but Audi designed the ends to be shaped the way they are for good reason, and I wanted to retain the ends on the bump stops as designed.

i kind of forget because i installed my suspension about 3 years ago. but IIRC the bumps are about 30$ each and about a inch shorter. search around the fourms, their was a good side by side photo of the non-sport vs sport floating around.
