NC - back to stock - bump stops?

Postby reflex » Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:24 pm

Unfortunately the time has come to sell the NC. I currently have Yellowspeed coilovers installed, however, previous to these I was running on Tein S-Tech lowered springs. When the S-techs were installed we cut the bumpstops according to the Tein recommendations.

To make the car appeal to a larger buyer base, I have decided to 'de-mod' the car entirely, as I don't feel selling it with the mods will nett me a better price than selling it stock, and if sold stock then I can sell all my goodies seperately for some extra coin to mod the next ride.

So my question is, in going back to stock shocks and springs, would you think it necesary to purchase new bumpstops to replace the cut down ones?

Thanks for any help.

You can get bump stops from Fat Cat for $100 delivered that are better than stock. Small cost for an improved standard ride that would be rougher with the cut down stops.

Its unlikely a prospective buyer will bottom it out and then wonder if the bump stops were cut.. So Id say dont bother.

Rear of the NC relies heavily on its bumpstops with even a small load in the boot.
I'd replace them...with the set of std ones I have here. ...and yes the rears are quite worn after only about 35k on the car.

Sailor +1 ..the simple approach is just to return it to standard and that is what a buyer expects.

Aaron, You can have them FOC.
I'll never put std ones back into a car I was using after having a set of FatCat ones.
