There is ABSOLUTELY no reason WHAT SO EVER to have to touch the bumpstop installing 17" x 11" 50 mm offset ZR1's.
Why modify something when it does not need to be done?
So the car that I installed the wheels on and has been running for the past nine years with absolutely no issues, is wrong?
Yeah whatever. Lets agree to dissagree on the subject.

Bringing this thing up from the dead.
So im currently running the 17x11's with a 50mm offset. I did cut the bump stops off but now i wish i never did. Anyhow without the bump stops my car keeps bottoming, mind you im at stock ride height, when ever i hit a dip in the road or when i have more then one passenger.
When it does bottom out the fenders, which are not rolled, tend to cut into the tires, 315/35/17's. Is there anything i can to to stop it from bottoming out?
Has anyone ever installed the bump stops back on their car after they removed them????
Any info would be great

Thanks for that 2nd link. I just cut my bump stops off and was trying to think of a different way to re-mount them.
