Bumpstops for Konis?

Postby SIB » Tue Nov 13, 2018 4:17 pm

Am putting koni yellows and lowered king springs on my NA6. Seems the FCM (or similar) bumpstops are highly recommended, but they are expensive and need to be shipped here. Wondering if there is a good local alternative that people use? Or maybe someone has some spares? All thoughts welcome. Thanks.

You will find that you are almost on the bump stops anyway, do you know how much bump travel you have?

What is the car used for?

Measure the shaft and get something that fits.
