Anybody use Energy Suspension Polyurethane bump stops?

I had 4 of them installed about 15K ago and my two front bump stops have ripped apart. I ordered another set for the front (only $15 a pair) and going to have these installed again. I'm also considering trimming these down just a bit to get a better ride. My suspension consists of Tein S-Techs and Tokico Illuminas. Is anybody using aftermarket bump stops or using oem ones when using S-Techs?

Are you sure they're meant for a Max? I looked on the energy suspension website and they don't show a p/n for bump stops.

i beleive poly is harder than rubber, and this makes it more "crumbly". it cannot take as much punishment as regular rubber bump stops. while it's great in some applications, i think if you keep bottoming out, the new bumpstops will wear out fast again.
