Should I change rear bump stops?
I have had a set of rear dropzone springs on my Camaro for a couple of years now. The ride has always been a little harsh, but the other day I stumbled across a few threads on different options on bump stops. At ride height, I have about 7/8" clearance between the bump stop and the axle. I know the bump stop hits the axle due to how clean it is. Most people have talked about changing bump stops for auto cross reasons; however, would they benefit me as well?
Re: Should I change rear bump stops?
The factory bump stops are hard as heil. When you contact them, they have about a 1/4" give and snaps you into oversteer when the travel is limited abruptly.
You can take them off and shave them down with a good taper on the sides to get more clearance AND a softer contact progression.
