im about to install my struts but had a question..i know i'm suppost to re-use the bumpstops in the front (trimmed half way?!?) but the rear illumina struts look like they already have bumpstops on the shaft??? i posted a picture


is that the bumpstop for the rear?? (yellow looking thing at the start of the shaft?) and if so then i dont need to re-use them on from the stock struts correct?

thanks

 

thats a bumpstop alright but i dont know if yuo need to trim that one or not, just measure it up to your rear one and if it looks to be about half then it should be good to go but if not trim it up a little. hope that helps. at least its a free bump for ya

 

thanks alot..

 

yea thats right...tell me what springs are you running with that setup? i bought the whole illumina kit and i'm not satisfied with the spring rate..but tell me how it goes..

 

did the fronts come with bumpstops too or no???

 

nah they didnt..had to cut and reuse the stock front bumpstops..just got done and surprizingly didnt have too much trouble with the rear LCA bolts!!! it went well

 

what springs are you running with your setup

 

lol Dude, were you sitting on the crapper when you took that picture?! Sure looks like a bathroom to me!

 

Ha, yeah see the glass shower door........

Lolololol! I was just thinking that also.

 

Hmm.. I just bought these shocks, I'll look into this when installing mine.

 

Lol nah i wasnt on the *******...i'm using skunk2 coilovers..the ride is decent, would be better with just lowering springs *neuspeed race* but i like my car slammed more then 2.25! so i'll take a little bouncyness for a tucked whip!

 

what type of springs are you going to use?

 

^^^skunk2 coilovers!!

 

haha
