Bump stops on shocks
Koni makes them and I did that for a while. In my case, I damaged a set of Koni DA's due to bottoming them out. If you have the travel with your shocks to use that stop without damaging the shock, you can get them from a Koni dealer (sorry, I don't have the part numbers handy).
:shakes head:
I sell them, but you'd be far better off finding a way to install the OEM type back on the car.

I run 11's and 315's with full size stock bumpstops. If you drag them with the tires or wheels, the offset is wrong. Don't screw up the suspension to "cure" your wheel fitment issues. And monkeying with the stops will screw something up. Even cutting them in half makes them less effective, and they are a integral part of the suspension.

I have heard that the Nitto DR's dont require any modifications to fit, but other DR's have had to pound the wheel well and what not. An adjustable PHB is pretty much mandatory too i think... i may be wrong tho.

Verdad Gallardo Rolled fenders, carefully picking wheel offset, and a REAL PHB.... And they do rub a touch from time to time, but also under over 1g of cornering. 315's are BIG, and some are bigger than others. Pick a narrower one and it'll help a lot.

I'm not sure I follow.... Meaning UMI's biggest PHB is not? For something relatively easy to make, there ar a lot of junk ones out there. UMI isn't aluminum (good). Used high-quality rod-ends (some don't), the welds are very strong (and battle tested by yours truly) which isn't always the case on chrome-moly steel as many folks weld it too fast and it becomes brittle, they don't.

I mean an adjustable bar with rod-ends at both ends..... poly bushed PHB's are not IMO "real" PHB's as bushings still deflect.
As for wheel offset and such. Well, I can't give all the secrets away randomly on the web, but also not all cars are exactly the same (and again the actual section widths vary).

Guess we took it the wrong way... no worries!
Thanks for the order

Oh, I get it... just mis-understood the tone (gotta love e-mail).
BTW, the PHB Ryan was referring to, came off of *MY* car. It was wrecked this summer, about 2 months before Nationals (not by me) and we pulled a lot of strings to get it fixed in time for Nationals (thank god, because it went *quite* well).
The damage was big, about $8k worth but the welds on that PHB held up great, I actually gave it back to him on purpose so he would know how it held up.
