Bump Stops

[CraigW]

I think that i need new bump stops for my car.

Ive had a lowering kit fitted and the old bumpstops were used so i think i need to change them.

What would anyone recommend??

Thanks in advance.

just find some ebay ones, i dont think there are any model specific bumpstops, they're a ******* to fit though

I thought that they would be! I just had a little bit of a feeling they would be. Would it even be worth changing them??

Also going alittle off thread, how long should it take for a lowering suspension kit to settle?? Ive had mine on since the 2nd or 3rd week in april and they are still rock hard, should they be softer over time?

if youve put uprated lower springs and shocks.. id expect it to be stiffer lol, mine certainly is.

as for the bump stops, just a case of whiping the top mounts off and swapping them. will need a spring compresser for the fronts .

300miles as a rule of thumb for suspension to run in.

What suspension kit do you have. My uprated suspension was ROCK HARD. Coilovers however are more civilised I have found

Ive got an Evosport Kit, both struts and springs. They are alittle softer than when the were first put on but not that muc. Only good thing bout them being harder is that it reduces body roll compared to the standard ones. There is still alittle bit of movement but it isnt as bad as it was with the standard ones on!!

Id love coilovers but sadly, i cant afford them

My suspension has been on about 2 months/2k miles and are still stiff as feck, like me you will just have to live with it until you can finance some coilies.
