Performance bumpstops might just make your car ride worse. The stock z28 ones are progressive and allow a little give before the bump goes to full stop. A performance bumpstop will probably be pretty solid and thus you will feel it a lot more. Actually if you have an SS, I think you have the blunt ended bumpstops right? Try switching to stock z28 bumpstops
You can get lower ones, but you might still hit. You can remove them too, but I wouldn't ever do it. Some people have done it in road racing but they have a higher springrate to compensate for it. I would not recommend removing the bumpstops on Eibach springs. That's treading in the risk of damaging your shocks zone.
Eibach springs seem to rely on the bumpstops to do their job.

Can you post GM part # for the Z28 bump stops?
Needing new ones, if they are yellowish then they are not the POS '98 OEM ones that are broken on my vehicle. Or did they update all of them?
