Definition of riding the bump stops?
I think I know what is causing my horrendous ride. The next question is why?
I had 2" Intrax springs, but I switched those for some 1.25"....As you can imagine with a gallon of milk in the trunk im basically bypassing my suspension, I !bumpstop because my tires are to damn big (C6 OEMs) and I dont want to have a blowout when the tire contacts the fenderwell. Also notice how bad the rear isnt centered? Pan hard bar is on the way, its bad, but not as bad as the angle makes it appear. I just need this fixed, its tearing the car apart!
I checked to make sure the spring insulators where there on both sides, and they where?
Also anyone got a pic of how much space is supposed to be between bumpstop and the rear?
Thanks in advance!

Well the thing is, It was not nearly as bad with the 2" springs on there, it almost wasnt an issue. So maybe the springs are FUBAR'd. I never noticed this until now (the spacing between the bumpstop and the axle). I still have the 2" I was supposed to go back to school tomorrow, but it does not look like that is gonna happen, I may swap the 2" and measure see whats up.
Where can I get a hold of a Z28 bump stop?

Thanks, will do.
Anyone got any suggestions for a stiffer spring? I run 19" C6 Tires and Wheels, so my tire is about 1" bigger than stock, I may go back to the 275/35/19 and loose some sidewall and width.
