Am I an idiot for trying this? (Front 87 Bumpstops) (Page 2/2) cvxjet MAY 31, 01:02 AM I lowered my car over an inch.....the car was hitting the bump-stops often, so when I rebuilt my 33 year old suspension, I picked up a spare subframe at the JY that I could rebuild and then quickly change out (Didn't go that quick- last subframe bolt broke off in the frame and took me two weeks to get a carriage bolt/plate fitted in there) While preparing the extra subframe I shortened the bump-stops approx' 3/4".....But after installation the tires would hit the fenders....So I was able to add spacer washers to the bump-stops(Approx' 3/16") to eliminate that problem... Explanations; I have 205/55-16 front tires- they are 24 3/4" tall (Taller than stock) and I had a lot of trouble removing and re-installing the bump-stops so when my friend was welding the bump-stop "towers" back together, I had him weld Nuts in the holes, then cut the nubs off the bump-stops and BOLTED them on(That is why I could add washers)
