Nb bump stops

Postby vfrpete » Tue Jun 10, 2014 7:42 pm

Does anyone know where I can get a set of rear bump stops. I'm changing shockies and have found the rear bump stops are perished. To suit 2001 nb with stock springs. Genuine ones are nil stock in aus. Till August
Thanks

Get some fat cat bump stops for the USA. They are much better than the standard ones

Are you retaining stock suspension or changing to coilovers?

Fat cat without a doubt.
Front and rear will set you back about $100. Will take about a week to be delivered to your door.
The improvement over my Tein bump stops was noticeable.

Another vote for Fatcat stops. Made a huge difference on my NA. I should have known better and taken the time to buy a new set for my NB before putting the stock suspension back in ...

Tbro's Superpro Falcon EA fronts sound interesting - there's also a damper boot/bump stop combo for the basic setup:
