Easy cure for bumpstop problems with 17x11's
Easy cure for bumpstop problems with 17x11's Just finally got time to post a picture. For everyone that is using 17x11 wheels and having problems with the wheels hitting the bumpstops, here is a cure.
That is a photo of my rear Koni DA (these will work on most any shock) with the dust cover pulled down and at the top is a Koni "bump rubber". This works in place of your factory bump stop and allows you to remove the factory bumpstop and bracket completely. I just figured I toss this up for the guys that may be able to use it. You can get the bump rubbers from any Koni dealer.
Hope this is useful to a few of you....
Edit to fix link to picture.

replace the square/rectangular rubber piece with the two bolts going through it that's attached to a bracket with the yellow rubber piece at the top of the shock in Kevin's pic. you can't miss it when you pull either of your rear tires off the car or just climb under it and take a look. i don't have a pic of the bumpstop, but perhaps someone else does and can post a pic if you still don't know what's being referred to.
