Have you allowed for the compression of the 80 series bumpstops as the compress a heap

Yeah it's a bit tricky Brando, I might jack the car up on the weekend and sit the tyre down onto this bump stop and see how much it compresses before fitting them.Quote:

The Amadas are expensive and I need to get this right.
Do you know how much they compress?
Put em in a vice or something this should give you something to work from.

Down to just under 80mm!! The factory rear bump stops measure 70mm!
I need 160mm of protection!
These are being sold all over eBay as a great upgrade for a Nissan! Are they? I dont think so! Bugger it!
You should have known mate...80 serious... down grade more like!!
No rubber mobs down that way that could custom make something up for you???
Yeah that's what I'm thinking now. I will probably have to make them myself and will take some good pics when it do.Quote:
