bump stop for mini tub
I have seen a lot of mini tub threads on here, but nobody is talking about how they make bump stops. how are you all doing it?

We're not running any. My car is not built for storing several hundred pounds of crap in the hatch anymore.

Me neither, but I am worried about going over big dips in the road fast and having the rear end dip. Ask me how I know this can be an issue!

I remounted the stop to the subframe on the inboard side of the springs, by the fuel tank. Or you can use shaft mounted ones on the struts

Re: bump stop for mini tub
I have the shaft mounted ones already. Was interested in what other people are doing that is not that
