Bump stops....what are bump stops?

Are they actually exactly what they sound like they'll be or something more?

[ecksjay]

bump stops are what you'll hit if you going over a massive bump and compress the shock/spring to its max ;)

if you do that alot, with lowered springs, the stock shocks wont last long

[Mikey Jay]

That might be what have gone on my car as get awful crunch noises every time I go over speed bumps

(go over them slowly -> bout 15-20mph before people accuse me of going over them too fast)

[Jozinobi]

15-20mph aint slow enough mate

Try 2-3... ;)

[Mikey Jay]

But people get angry at you if you do that, buses go faster over bumps than that ;)

[Mikey Jay]

Woo, shall look forward to receiving it ;)

Apolagies for the Hi-jacking of thread Tommy, will stop now

[Sparky]

Yea they are the right ones and thats a damn good price!!!

15-20mph aint bad over speed humps in a standard car (was told om my test to go over them between 12-15mph) but i wouldnt take my car over one at more than 3-5mph ;)

[ecksjay]

someones selling some ventura springs over on tgtt for £60 ;)

[Mikey Jay]

My instructor told me 20mph was fine for speed bumps

So just doing what was told ;)

[Tommy_G]

i was told ventura springs were rubbish?! and ill get the bump stops. and P.Is are apparently quite good, so ill go with them.

[ecksjay]

ventura are no better/worse than P.I, plus they lower more AFAIK.

mikey - thats fine and dandy in a stock car, but try doing it in something reasonably firm/lowered and it'll knock your spine out the top of your skull ;)

[Mikey Jay]

Riteo ecks, shall remember that if I do anything much suspension wise to the car.

[Tommy_G]

40mm is max for me!...specially on 15s.

ill go for P.I but thanks for the info ecks.

shud look loads better...in a short while, ill keep you informed

[ecksjay]

depends on the firmness of the shocks/springs, but if they're reasonable firm then you'll wanna go as slow as you can, otherwise it feels like you're bending alloys/or other parts of the car ;)

reason i suggested the ventura mate is because mine is on P.I's, and they aint the best of springs if i'm honest (but i do have Tanabe Sustec Shocks with em).

[Tommy_G]

hmmm, erm ill try out these P.Is not loadsa money, nd i can always sell them.
