For those that have Tein S Techs, is your Maxima having problems with your bumpstops? I have gone thru 2 sets of Energy Suspension bump stops and want to go back to stock ones....any suggestions?

 

I don't have S-techs but I have Progress springs. Regardless, from what I know of these suspension set-ups, that shouldn't be happening, unless the ES stops are longer/taller than stock. Or unless you drive on bumpy roads I guess. Are your shocks/struts blown or set really low in terms of dampering?

 

when i installed mine, i was an idiot and cut them too much.

 

The Tech here at the dealership I work at showed me that they are not blown.
The ES bumpstops I have (P/N#7.6104) work with Nissan cars with 3/4" shaft diameter. 2 per set. 1 3/4" tall, 2" O.D., 3/4" I.D.

maybe my suspension bushing on my front end are worn out...I have the Tokico Illumina struts and both f/r are set at 1

pics of the bumpstops...

 

i have s-techs with illuminas, and stock bumpstops not cut. no problems yet. (10K)

 

i been on s-techs for 3 years, i just ordered another set of blues just to replace the 3 year old ones i put in along with the springs. i never cut my bump stops and i had them installed by a friend who's a nissan tech. never understood why people cut them.

 

Interesting, those stops seem pretty short too (I may have to get some myself). Illuminas at setting 1 are probably not enough for those springs though. I'd think it should be at least 3-4. I start bottoming out at setting 2 with my Progress (I use 3/4 F/R, stock bump stops, no bottoming out), which even have lower spring rates IIRC.

 

I'll adjust my struts...thanks for the help

 

how do the S-Tech ride are they real low and how is the handling

 

I cut mine and no issues but mine are now starting to rip
