I had my tokico springs and illumina's installed today. For some reason they didn't put the bumpstops in, none, zero. I provided them with some bump stops off a Koni Yellow set and when I noticed they didn't install them they said they weren't needed. I told them if the car bottoms out it'll destroy something without the bumpstops. They said the aftermarket spring/shock will never bottom out.

Needless to say, I've always read you absolutely need bumpstops, although trimming may be required when going from OEM to aftermarket suspension. The reasons are obvious. Am I missing something here? They said I could come back and they would put them in if I wanted, and I'm thinking I want.

Please proffer your opinion. I think the chance of me bottoming out is slim, but it only takes once, and this is SoCal, land of culverts and canyons at intersections.

Thanks!

 

Get back to that shop and put the bump stops in.

 

should have installed them yourself.

another reason i dont take my car to shops

 

get the bumpstops installed.

illuminas come with new bumpstops.

 

Dont forget rubber feels better than metal thats what they are there for.
Dont go to that shop for any more work.

 

either take it back to the shop and tell them you want the bumpstops put on, or go somewhere else and have them install them, and take the 1st place to small claims for the amount you were charged plus court fees

 

... did you pay for this... its sooo easy to install susspension..

not doing your own work

 

I was also getting tires and an alignment GarageAlchemist, can't do that in your garage now can you? The shop put the bumpstops back in btw.
