You could just get some foamy shock shaft mounted bumpstops.

ironhead, if you are even talking to me, i have a custom tq arm mount to the midwest 9" from the bmr extreme front half



the car doesnt hit the stops at the track (see sig), it hits them on the street on big bumps

I see. I figured it had to be something very much different than stock.

i dunno why slp added the spacers, but i need all the help i can get

have you seen the gmhtp article about the moser m9 install?

that was rediculous, they welded a 2" block to mount the bump stops on to clear the gas tank.. a stock ride hight car would be on those all the time.. now that would be bad

No you don't need them, but you'll either need to trim the side of the bumpstop to fit around the mount lip that hangs down, or cut the lip off.

Summit has them for $16.25. I am almost thinking about drilling a few holes in it to help it out with them being so dang stiff, but it most certainly got to be better than smacking metal. Anytime i have a passenger in my car i get real when i hit a bump.

The poly is one of the only options right now. I believe the softer Z28 bumpstops are on national backorder. I've been waiting 3 months, good thing I'm out of country.
