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.

Um noooooo, they're there for a reason, if they are cut or removed then your rear end may travel too much under jounce causing a whole bunch of rear end shift way past tolerance.

Ooops, better put mine back on, lol.
But they do say to cut them

I don't ever cut them (they are less progressive when you do).

You guys put em on after lowering and full length huh, yeah, I need to put mine back on

I cannot even find a Ford part number to buy replacements.

By cutting them you're severely reducing your handling when you hit bumps and are making your car much less safe at the same time. They decided to do their kit by literally cutting corners. This is really the best explanation possible by far because Eibach isn't a stupid company and they understand how to make a low quality mass market product, they're well known for their inteligence. It's very easy to make a new shorter progressive bump stop, they even make them for lots of their high end products for different cars, however nobody can tell the difference between doing it right and doing it wrong and they still market it as being "high performance". It sucks but that's what you get in the street market.

Very likely, bump stops would have been nice.

So can you just buy replacement bump stops for lowered Mustangs? I've tried searching through a few vendors but have only found new bump stops as part of a kit... not individually for sale.
