Default Just a thought

I'm wondered what would happen if someone were to ride in their car without bumpstops. would the car ride like crap or would it not affect the handling at all. Has anybody driven around without bumpstops? and how was the ride?

They're really not going to make any difference unless your car is slammed and resting or almost resting on them. They're in there for a reason however, that's to keep your shock from completely bottoming out the piston and destroying the shock.

yea, it wouldent effect the ride, but its a very counter productive thing to do. If you were to ever bottom out, there goes your shock. bye...

Keep it on

What the other 2 have said is very true. The only thing a removing a bump stop will do for you is allow the shock to travel freely. This obviously will lead to your shock doing what I like to call a Kaputnik, which is not cool.

Bump stops are a good thing, they end the suspension travel before it ends your shocks.
