Dust boots to use with Konis?

[Sean]

I just ordered new bump stops for the front, which I could cancel. Do I really need them?? :? There's still a LITTLE left on the front, just not a whole lot...

...



there so cheap.....even the GC ones......Id get em..........its the covers you could live w/o

Think I should maybe trim them down a little? Or, will they be ok being as long as they are stock? But, I guess I'll just pay for them. Always better to have at least somethin in there to act as a bump stop.

Another quick question, for anyone that knows - I found this thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/phpBB2/vie...bump+stop+koni

To adjust the rears, I guess we can't have the little rubber bump stops in there? I'd like to leave those out so I don't need to remove my shocks to adjust them...preferably.

I forgot are you using stock springs......? no need to trim oe stops w/ stock ht springs......

Nope, Ireland Engineering Stage 3 Springs. Do I still need the bump stop with those? I can't see them bottoming out at all...

I am TRULY no expert, still learning for sure.......but I would think you want bump stops...are you trying to just save cash?.....its not that much really.........this is independent of your rear shock question. You dont want a shock to bottom out and you never know........

[Sean]

Yea, I'll put them in. You're probably right. Not worth it to save $25.

For the rears, I'm thinkin of cuttin into the little rubber bump stop, so I an remove it when I want to adjust, then just put it back on when I'm done.

Somethin along those lines... :D

[JRKOUPE]
