I bought Tein H-Tech's and Tokico HP's but need to buy new bump stops.

I DO NOT want to trim my stock bump stops.

Does anyone know the part number to replace them with this suspension??? Or suggestions on which ones to get???

I heard Koni has bumpstops but will they work? If so which ones???

tnx

 

just wanted to add a notification




ANYONE?!?!?!?

 

I have the part #'s at home. I'll check them out when I get home from work in the morning.

 

Thanks :-D

 

RE Suspension has a myriad of bump stops available in various heights and spring rates.

 

I've heard good things on the board about kyb bump stops. I can't recommend them because I don't have them. Check them out though.

 

what size do they need to be? Does it matter???

I honestly know nothing about bump stops... well nothing about suspension in general

 

Lol, I've heard the opposite about KYB. You can't go wrong with OEM. Call DaveB and get OEM. After reading about problems with aftermarket, I thought it better to just go with OEM and trim them a little to account for the lowering.

 

O.E.M IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

 

I just put new KYB bump stops on a week ago. No problems at all.

 

is there a certain KYB???

 

how important are bumpstops? I looked at mine and they tore/smashed in half.

 

I just ordered new front dust boot/bump stops from DaveB a couple weeks ago because mine are torn up and I'm swapping out my H&R springs in the front for some brand new H-Techs to get a little lower. They were like $15 each plus shipping. Just so you know, the rear OEM dust boots are $25 a piece, which is pretty expensive IMO.

 

There are two types you may find and it really depends on what the retailer has in stock. There is a one piece bump stop/boot combo which is like what came on the max. The other is a new style two piece which must be snapped together form a one piece.

They are also know as bellows. I'm not sure is there is a differance in price.

Also, IMO, bump stops are replacement parts not performance parts so I would not be too attached to brand names, I would look for price.

 

The bump stop helps to keep you from bottoming out on hard bumps in the road and the boot helps to protect your strut shaft and prolong it's life of the strut.

 

The thing to know about bumpstops is that you get the right one for your car, ie. make, model, etc. Also know that the front ones are larger that the rear so don't go online and order four rears bumpstops like I almost did.
