I'm getting one of these kits, and I'm gonna have 16" rims on it wiv 45 profile tyres, wud u recommend getting bumpstops wiv the suspension kit as well? Wud this improve handling and illiminate scrubbage? I don't want the ride to be extremely harsh however I do want the best handling possible. And I wud be ok wiv having harsh ride if it means gud handling.
bumpstops or not????
cheers

yip ride is good with these kits, not too hard, but front was too low so i put -40 springs on (but as the shocks r shorter and designed for -60, they compress the -40 springs, so its down about 50 at the front)

all shocks have bumpstops in them anyway, i have longer ones to stop scrubbage but they definately dont do anything for ahndling in the wet, bk end is too solid, gonna put some high springs on the bk so the ride isn't as harsh

ah rite, so the new shocks will come with bumpstops then, just not uprated ones. So I cud buy the kit as is, fit it, see wot its like, then buy some other bumpstops if necessary to stop srubbage if there is any. I'm gettin the suspension done before the wheels anyway so I'm gonna be lowered on 14" wheels lol, so I don't think I'm gonna ave to worry about srubbage just yet.
