Tokico HP Bump Stop Question

[WRCprotege]

heres what im working with..

 

[808MP5]

lowering bump stops can be had at street unit. Sh1t I'm not even using bump stops.

 

[WRCprotege]

their good to have.. but it looks like bumps are something you hit with any speed with the 19s and rubberband tires! bling frenkin bling!! lol

Thanks for all the help everyone. I will be posting pics of the results when I'm finished to, hopefully, help answer any questions anyone else may have.

A lot of blah-blah-blah but here's the bottom line:

MSP bump stops should be the first thing you buy when you decide to lower your Protege.

Use stock bump stops on your lowered suspension and you'll have one or two fewer inches of suspension travel, resulting in crappy suspension dynamics when you more frequently hit your bump stops.

Use no bump stops and you risk destroying your new struts when they bottom out.

It's really that simple.

Yep!

Ok, another possibly dumb question. If the set gives me a 1.4" in the front and a 1.7" in the rear, are the new shorter bumps going to make my car too low in the rear?

They dont change the height at all...

Thanks everyone for the help, although I'm sure I'll have more ???s in the next week b4 I get all hooked up.

I just ordered a set as I needed Racing Beat exhaust gaskets (yes, I could have gone to Napa, etc, etc....)
