Bump Stops?

[Slow VR]

Fulcrum advised me that my bumpstops r to long in the front..... Because the car is lowered (nothing dramatic) they said its riding on the bump stops n needs to have shorter ones fitted? Any 1 else heard of this? Or know where to get shorter bumpstops? Ive got a feeling fulcrum r having a go of me......

How low have you gone?

[Slow VR]

As low as 99% of all the other commos on the road, Its nothing stupid, got 17's so its just been brought down a tad to make it look respectable.

I think they are having a lend of you as I have VS II Berlina v6 with super low king springs fitted with 180,000km old original front struts and I have no knock at all. Get another opinion man.

[Slow VR]

Yeah thats wat i reckon to, they have already ripped me off a fair bit, now they reckon that its riding on the bump stops n that the bump stops r actually fitted the wrong way round??? Cant think that i have ever heard any other commo owner mention that they needed shorted bump stops.

It is really not that low!

[mattman]

Yeh didn't read that properly sorry.

Only case I've heard of shortened bumpstops being needed was ultralow rears in a wagon.

Fulcrum r going on about the fronts?

[BigDaz]

just go there and kick them in the go-nadz coz they talkin shit to ya

[sircruisealotVS]

i wouldnt say they are talking sh*t....when i lowered my vs (super low kings) my front end was riding the bump stops...but that was because my shocks were absolutely f*cked, after replacing them it doesnt have any dramas.
you can get shortened bump stops for really low cars, but i dare say you wouldnt need them.

[Slow VR]

The struts are brand spanking, n its no where near super low!

[sircruisealotVS]

hmm, buggered if i know man...you'd be able to feel if you were riding the bumpstops...it would be rough as guts

[Slow VR]

U would think so ay! Its not rough at all. Im gunna take it to pedders to get a 2nd opinion. I reckon fulcrum r just after my money......?

DON'T go to pedders cairns, they're the biggest rip off ever. they wanted $1400 to fix some crap in my berlina, and $1700 to fix more or less the same stuff in my parents' vr. the bloke i bought the berlina off (who worked near pedders) said that people who were comin up from down south said they pay about 3 times less to get the same stuff done down there. i nearly had a fit when when i saw the examination results. it's only $14 to get a full check done but you don't wanna see the price for the results. get a check, and let me know how much it comes to.
