As above stops the 'bang' when the shock bottoms out, stops CD players skipping and can act as a limiter to how far the suspension can travel...

thanks guys.......

I've got a corsa 'c' and thinking about fitting Koni Yellows - lowers the car by 40mm........ its sitting on 17"s with 40 profile tyres.

Would it be worth it fitting the bump stops (they come free with the kit)

Yes, fit bumpstops. You definatly need them. Without them the suspension could travel all the way down the piston and just blow the shocks.

My bumpstops dont stop my CD player from skipping though, lol.
