Hey guys so my suspension finally came in and today is d day. But I have a few questions.

First one: I have 4 of these washers per pair of shocks, in the diys I only seen people use one of them per shock but not even mention the other ones.


Second one: I had to buy new bumpstops cause I noticed the previous owner of my car either removed the factory ones or lost or whatever. Anyways I didn't go jonda cause I would have needed to wait etc so I went with kyb in front and napa brand in rear. The front look a alot shorter then what oem would be at so I figure I can get away with not cutting it. The rear seems about the size in length that comes with extended tophats but im still iffy on cutting it or not also im iffy on orientation of the bumpstops.







OR?

 

There's two washers per shock because one goes under the dust cover and the other goes on top. Since your running gc sleeves you only need to use one per shock. Use the thick washer. The flat part of the bump stop needs to face up towards the top hat. If I were you I'd return your bump stops and get extended top hats.

 

Well my rear shocks had oem bumpstop so ima use those why would I return the other bumpstops well im returning the napa ones since I won't be using them anymore

 

Your welcome, n00b.

 

Ummmm ok lol

 

Next time sit down in your high chair and put a bib on for your spoon feeding lol.

 

Wtf are you talking about? Cause I asked simple questiond to confirm my thoughts especially when there is at least 5 diys involving konis and ground control some people had some **** others didnt etc.

Yet you couldn't even give me a reason as yo why I should return the bump stops that I bought.

 

Here, I'll try and be a little more helpful.

You should probably return them because you have no clue if they are the correct rate and compressed length for your application.

The purpose of a bumpstop is to prevent hard parts from hitting. You want the most suspension travel possible, especially with a lowered car that won't really be able to get enough travel, which means you want the absolutely shortest bumpstop that you can use that fully compresses right before anything else hits.

GC extended upper shock mounts come with bumpstops that do this, as long as you don't have a camber kit installed.

 

Gets called a noob by the guy with 12 posts...
Don't have any input, just wondering if you could get me the part number for those kyb boots. Have seen conflicting information on which ones work and which ones don't.
