its tempting but I've been reading that these don't ride so well? Dinan might be the way to go.
- nice wheels who makes them? |

You still feel the bump with the Dinan, it's just not as harsh. I honestly haven't rode in one of these with the factory suspension, but I would think the Dinan is closer to it.

FWIW (and the any prospective buyers), I did the H&R 2" drop myself but used the dinan bump stops. Car rides great, no real bounce, and potholes aren't as bad as the H&R2 + stock bump stocks.
So buy these from cm32001 and buy the Dinan bump stops and you'll be pretty happy.

I haven't touched my bump stops but I'll agree with the OP that it's fine 80% of the time but you'll know if you hit something hard. I blame that more on the simple fact that I've got less shock travel now, I don't think it's a spring issue. I'm curious about the bump stops mod.

I looked hard at them and while they are similar to stock bump stops with the tops trimmed by about 1/4", there are other differences. The Dinan stops have a narrow rod hole and also have a different retainer mechanism on the inside.
I'm definitely the type to mod my own parts if feasible, but the Dinan stops are more than just chopped off OEM stops. If those other items are enough to make a big difference I don't know though.

Sorry for jumping in to another subject but, how did you remove your roof rack rails? I've been wanting to do this and most I was able to find on forums is DIY's for replacing rails, not deleting them.
