Bump Stops
Is it required/recommended to cut the bump stop when installing lowering springs? Trying to figure out where the weird noise is coming from after I swapped my springs....

Iso's maybe not seated properly. Does it sound like a squeak or loose boult from sway bar end link or something. If you did not tighten the strut to enough ft/lbs then on the rebound you may get some clunking.
describe the sound and i might be able to help.

If the rates are progressive and drops the car too low, cutting the bump stop is a band aid fix to a real problem, but it is your only fix other than replacing the springs. With the E chassis, H&R and Eibach springs had the above issues and the band aid fix was to use a shorter bump stop from another BMW. |
