lowlancer Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Seeing as the celeste has such huge bumpstops, and afterlowering it so far that it's sitting on them, I thought I'd whip em out and cut em down. MISTAKE Cut them too rugged and don't wanna cut em any further to smooth them. What I wanna know is whether I can buy pre-made bumpstops that are already shortened?

zep Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Try heating them up to smooth them. A lighter might just do the trick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Or, alternatively, go to a wreckers and steal some shorter ones from another car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big tymer Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 why do they have to be smooth just cut them as low as you can no one can see them when you drive past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 wof issue I;d imagine make sure you check tha you're driveshaft isnt bottoming in the gearbox housing at full compression of the suspension onto the new length bumpstops = bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esky boi Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I thought that you'd already cut the bumpstops? have you lowered it more or sumthin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Just remember - Mod bumpstop = cert required and remember replace bumpstop = no-one can tell the difference lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have to cert anyway And yeah cut em more, as I lowered it more, but still way too high. Might just get some shorter ones and cut them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2DR73XA Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 cut them to just bigger than you want them, then use a angle grinder with a grinding disk and round/smooth them, or if you have a wood working sanding disk available use that its better, i just tacked them to my work bench (to hold them in place) then ground/rounded them to the height i wanted and made them look nice and smooth, not all half ar5ed.
