Bump Stops

Postby Pumpn'Go » Sun Aug 19, 2007 12:27 pm

Does anyone in Australia sell the soft foam type bump stops?
In the USA they use them a lot. They are available in a few diferent lengths, so they can extend suspension travel. Some people lower their cars heaps for their racing, so they would be on the stops heaps. From what I gather if you hit these stops its not harsh like hitting a rubber one half way round a corner.
If anyone has experience with these , let me know as I am looking at geting some.
Thanks Col

I dont know of an Australian company that makes the bumpstops your looking for.. But a few people on this forum including me, run Fatcat Mororsports Bumpstops.. I run the 46mm linear bumps.

If you order them make sure you order them with the dust boots, as the dust boot is built into the standard MX5 bumpstops, and will come out when you swap them.

They are quite cheap to get to Australia, about $120ish aus dollars all up with dust boots. Cheaper then buying new bumpstops from mazda...

Hope this was some help..
