Koni shock and bump stop help needed

Postby mx589 » Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:51 pm

Have chewed up my rear bump stops on my nb fitted with koni yellow shock and koni spring combo.
Car is not that low but i have noticed in this pdf below
http://www.fatcatmotorsports.com/FCM_bu ... nstall.pdf

A spacer fitted on rear shock between bump stop and were shock shaft goes into cylinder.
Other konis yellows ive had on other cars have a plastic like spacer there ive been told is to stop the bump stop getting into the shock seal when bottoming out etc?

Anyone know more about this spacer ?
And any recommendations for a good rear bump stop. Dont want anything 2 hard in bump stop also

Try the big board. Konis don't get much attention here these days.
