What is everyone doing for bump stops on the rear axle? I cut mine down but now get harsh hits on bigger potholes and bumps.

 

cut mine in half. I know they hit, but I wouldn't call it harsh.

 

Read on a post that the upper part of the bump stop shouldn't be cut off because it compresses easily and reduces shock more effectively. Trouble is there isnt much travel with full bump stops and Eibach instructions say to cut them. Anybody seen aftermarket for lowered suspension, I'm not finding any.

 

i have the frpp "k" springs which are the same as the eibach pro-kit springs and i didnt cut my rear bump stops at all and its fine. i'm sure it hits some times because i can see the marks where it contacts the axle assembly, but its not noticable. in fact, i was suprised to find the marks where it hits at times because i had never noticed it before.

 

stock, no problems. the car is stiff with my springs and D-specs so I don't notice any bottoming out anyway.

 

Supposedly the "progressive" rate of the Eibach pro kits is the problem - I had them for 2 months with Steeda struts and shocks and thought the car was going to fall apart along with me...now have steeda sport with no cut bump stop - rides well and handles about the same, if not better.
