Prothane Bump Stop?
Prothane Bump Stop? I HAVE A 98 Z28 AND NEED TO REPLACE THE STOCK REAR BUMP STOPS. DOES PROTHANE OR ANYONE ELSE MAKE THESE REPLACEMENTS AND IF SO WHO IS IT AND WHAT IS THE PART NUMBER? THANKS
Well, the GM brand runs about $30 each and I figured an aftermarket one would be a lot cheaper. I could probably check at some salvage yards for better ones i guess.

Description: REBOUND BUMPER
Part #: 10164173

The material does fall apart after a while, but these bump stops allow you to hit them without feeling it and without upsetting the suspension as much as with harder or rubber type stops.

If there is a stiffer bumpstop, it would definitely both ride worse and handle worse. Because if you ever hit the bumpstop, you'd suddenly have no suspension travel left and nothing to cushion it making it pretty uncomfortable. The stock ones have a slight progression into being totally on the bumpstops and a little more cushion. Your tail end would be a lot more controllable with stock bumpstops.
