Anyone using ST bump stops - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey all, my OEM foam bumpstops are busted and would like to know if anyone is using the suspension technique bump stops. Is it easy to install and last longer than the OEM one?

How much did you pay for them? Will it fit Koni sport struts?

I just did this on my fronts a few months ago with the ST's. I swear they were 9 bucks for both of them. I have Neuspeed/Koni yellows I think they are the same as the sports? My Koni's have 5 adjustable perch settings to raise or lower the car by 1mm. Anyways you have to cut the ST's and I had to bore the holes out to get them to slip over the strut shaft. They are a tad shorter than stock ones but what a difference they made. I no longer bottom out and because the ST's are stronger I'm confident they shorter length does much. Whole procedure takes approx 45 min per side in the fronts. Hope that helps.

im guessing some kind of rubber inserts.. that stops ur car if its dropped from touching the ground once u get over a speed bump, or right after u get on an incline
