I found similar ******* jeep ones here in the uk which fitted perfectly once i machined the original spacer lip away. I wanted to reuse the spacer as without it i thought the suspension could travel further before hitting the stop.

Cost me £18 here in the UK.

Well done.

The angled/pointed end makes a difference though when compressed. Linear absorption or abrupt absorption with the wide and flat bump stop

I’ve never actually hit the stops before but I’m now lowered (just this week) so that may change. I’ll have a look for some pointed ones from the same shop I got those from. When I got the car there was nothing left of the stops so had to do something quick.

I bought poly ones, and have them waiting for me when I get home, but I'd much rather have rubber. Ordering these, thanks!!!

*edit* It looks like it is totally rubber. Is there not a metal mounting plate it is molded to?

I ordered them too and they came in a few weeks ago. Yes, there is a metal plate molded to it, it's just covered in the rubber too.

Thanks for posting this. I was on the Power Tour this year and I started getting a bad tire rub on the inner fender lip at every dip in the highway. Turns out the stock bump stops crumbled and fell apart.

Advance Auto says this doesn't fit a 2000 trans am is that true? Or does this version/part # bolt right up to a '00 TA?

Thanks! Can these be used with 295 size tires on C5 Z06 wheels with 1/8 inch spacers and not rub?

Yes. It doesn't change anything with your suspension, it just keeps your rear axle from crashing into the bottom of your car. If anything it will keep your tires from rubbing the inner fender lip by reducing suspension travel by about an inch. I never had a tire rub until recently when my bump stops disintegrated which allowed my suspension to travel too far.

I bought the Dorman stops but, the hole for teh screws were way off, even if I drilled them out larger they missed, More Dorman junk. The Delco Stock **** is high dollar.
