Rear Bump for axle hey guys i bought a 1" wheel spacer kit for my Z and i'm kinda worried about it hitting the fender if i hit a bad bump. My bump stops on the axles aren't in the greatest shape and i was wondering if there is a place to get Polyeurathane ones for it. Or maybe even some taller one's to ensure i don't hit. I'm not lowering my car because i like my LT headers so i want to get that outta the way. That's all i'd need is to hit a good bump and have the tires run up into the fender and buckle it. I bought the spacers because when i turn my back tires will rub and i want to eliminate that along with give the car a better rear stance. I've seen pics of cars with the 1" spacer and it looks like it would hit. I'd appreciate it guys if you can help me out. Thanks~Cole~

Just replace it with stock rubbers ones. There is no advantage to running a poly bump stop unless you like hitting the stop to jar your teeth more 
.
You could just shim the stock bumpstop down lower if you are worried about it. But you might severely limit your suspension travel that way.

get the yellow foam z28 / base formula/ base transam stops. The are progressive and should not cause any rubbing issues if all else is in order. Rubber and hard poly are stiff and/or too bouncy....not good for ride or traction.
