Do i need new bump stops?

Postby Jimmy » Mon Nov 19, 2007 3:15 pm

Im about to get new suspension and am putting together a list of what to get. The suspension setup im looking at are either Koni Sport or KYB AGX with King springs. Considering that the suspension is completely standard atm, when it comes time to change it over, will i/should i need to change the bumpstops? If yes, any recommendations? I wouldnt have a clue when it comes to bumpstops :?

Oh and ive got 175K in the clock.

I just had a look here http://www.cardomain.com/ride/742393/1

If i do need new ones, what length should i go and should i go \"progressive\" or normal?

i think they come integrated with the shock absorber dust cover boots. if yours are torn to bit or not even there anymore, then yes, certainly get new ones :shock:
