Its bottoming out. Need to take them off again, strip them down, add the bumpstop from your orignal and voilour. (cut the bumpstop in half ideally so its smaller).

Yep, the bumpstop-hitting noise is horrible

I think you can but smaller ones, but if you can get the old one off and cut it yourself then there's not much point buying some.

i wouldnt say dont buy them, but you get for what you pay for, i mean if putting a bump stop in place stops the banging then yes i would say there fine to buy..

just want to say ive spent all morning sorting the fronts out, put the orginal bumpstop from standard shocks in, and another rubber spacer in place in the top mount and its sorted it, no knocks etc at all, little harsh ride but cant grumble at all..
