Is there a place I can find replacements for those rubber bump stops that go inside the front spring (84-87)?(missing one, and one is split).
Did a search and found nothing do they exist? also what about that Rubber on the top of the stock springs, do lowering springs come with those or what to replace it with there?

Thanks in advance

Fiero store is the only place I know that has the strut bumpers. I got some from them for my 88 rear.

Lowering springs do not come with the upper rubber thing. You need to reuse your old one. Sorry, don't know about the rubber stops. Often GM used similar ones in other vehicles that you might be able to use with minor modification. Supposedly, the 84-87 Fiero front ends are quite similar to Chevette front ends. Maybe check into that? If not, then maybe scrounge the boneyards or put the word out in the mall section and see if someone is parting out a Fiero.

Found the answer Just in case anyone else needs it. Energy suspension has Bump stops that will fit, in both red and black "bullet Style" you can look them up on Jegs if needed the part numbers are 355-9-9103G (black) or 355-9-9103R (red). There are 2 per package and the cost of them is $8.69. Only thing is that the crossmember needs to be removed to install these.

OK I also found some replacement spring dampers (the rubber on the top of the front springs) I thought it would be insane to re-use the old ones with a new set of Eibachs so here is the info for anyone who cares. The part number is 15.6103, and they are ~$11 each from Summit (available in Red or Black) they have approximately the same dimensions and I have test fit them on the crossmember and they fit well. Here is a pic so you can see what they look like next to the old stock ones.

If you find my posts useful please give me a rating.
