Rear Bump Stops
« on: 01 March 2012, 15:18 »
Right as some of you may know i purchased and fitted my Apex suspension kit with a 45mm drop but am still very  :angry: with the height on the rear end. My decision was to get rid and buy collies but a friend has said why dont you remove the rear bump stops and then the rear end will just be sitting on the springs and then i would see the affect of the 45mm drop. My question is has any one done this or has any more info on if it would be okay without them?

didnt think it would make a difference as the bump stops just stop the car from bottoming out, would be foolish to remove these........  :undecided:  :lipsrsealed:

or maybe i am wrong  :embarassed:
