Tein S Tech question
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?

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 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.

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.
