Did you replace the bump stops at the same time as the shocks?

Your rear axle bushes are probably worn out too.   How many miles has the car done?

Didn't really understand that last bit.

Why can't you get new bump stops?  You can get them from vw or euro car parts or gsf or anywhere really.  They are not that expensive, probably £30 for genuine ones, much less if you get pattern ones.
