Made my own bad *** rubber bump stops for $10
Found these universal rubber stops at autozone for about $5 each and thought I'd custom make my own since the stock foam ones suck and were screwed up.
First step was to drill a hole in the center of the bump stop plate
Notice I ground down the nipple. You could drill another hole for it though
Also note that I cut the rest of the bolt off so it would fit back on the car
Done and installed!

totally need to do this, when I was at the tire shop last year I was all like "look how shot these things are" and pushed on it and it fell off in my hand.
here's the pic I took just before it fell off.

Ive seen those and never even though to drill a hole in the original bumpstop plate to make them fit, kudos to you!
Wanna do me a favor? Will you measure the height of the bumpstop from the rubber bottom to the tip?
How do these feel compared to the foam stock ones? Softer hopefully?

Thanks everyone! It is pretty easy to do if you have the right tools. Fortunately I did and it litterally took me 30 minutes from start to bolting back on the wheels. I just masked off the new rubber block and used some gloss black spray paint so they look new again.
My old ones were basically missing so I have no way to measure. I do know what they look like, and just from what I remember and eying it, they look damn close. I can't really say how these compare to stock, because again, mine were missing, but I also don't go around bottoming out my car. I would think it would be pretty hard to do that. They are more or less there to prevent the the shocks from being damaged I would think.
