^ bumpstops are the yellow things. They alter how low the car will go during compression of the shocks.

So does this mean I could actually go lower than what I am now then, I am only the original height for the GSI which is something like 10 - 15mm on the back but I have 17's and on the passenger side it looks low as fcuk but not as much on the drivers side, yet the front does need lowering a good bit as it has not been lowered yet, thanks Paul...

bump stops go on the suspension and they stop the car traveling all the way down, i.e. itll hit the bumpstops, this means there may be less travel if he has fitted bigger bumpstops

My car is in the body shop and Ihave just been on the phone to them, thay are spraying my new back bumper and putting in a plate recess also a dent in the front wing which some @rse decided to put in. Also my rear arches have been catching the tyres and grinding the rubber off, the body shop said they were going to try and grind off the edge but it was not that that was causing it it was the bolts holding the kit on, so he has fitted bump stops and cattied the arches on I think what does this mean cos he said the back end might be a lot firmer cos it wont go up and down as much as before? sorry for the long thread people any help is appreciated, Regards Paul...
