	you dont want them too big or it will riase the car up, think mine are 8cm long. but are powerflex ones , not like the vaux foam ones which compress loads.

	whats the biggest bumpstops ya can put on the rear my wheels were hitting the inner arch when i had the car down lowish

	the covers werent removeable on my rear shocks, they are on standard vauxhall ones though.
Siberia	posted on 19th Jun 04 at 18:38
	do ya have to cut the covers off? feck i have FK shocks on the rear
Kris TD	posted on 19th Jun 04 at 18:33
	yep thats it, piece of piss to do, unless you have after market shocks like i do then i had to cut the covers off then weld them back on.

	here i took some pics cos i need to do this myself

	remove the shocks from the car. remove the top part that covers the piston, remove the standard vauxhall ones and replace with new ones, then put it all back together.

	take out the shock or drop it so ya can get the bumpstop over the the shock piston [Edited on 19-06-2004 by Siberia]
