bump stops for lowered car?
does anyone know where I can find new shorter bump stops for our cars. To me it makes sense that if you lower your car 1 inch you are now 1 inch closer to hitting the bumpstop and you have gotten rid of 1inch of suspension travel. You need to either cut the stock ones down the same amount you lowered the car or buy new ones that are shorter? Any help with this matter would be appreciated. Some expert opinions would be great.

RE: bump stops for lowered car?
Hey!
I got my bumpstop cut and it works ok, but if you hit a big bump in the road its going to go down and hit the bumpstop.
If you lower your car the ride will be more harder, but handle much better.
