Anyone can tell where can I get bup stops. I just replace the front stuts and realized that the bump-stops are broken.
By the way, I put new coilover and lower the car, and the suspension is bottoming up quiet frequently. Is this normal when you lower the car? My first time, sorry!!

It depends on how much you lowered the car. You probably lowered it a lot, that's why you're bottoming out so much. Also, your shocks are probably blown. If they were fine, they'd keep you from doing that so often.

hmm IMO you can't get generic springs.... it takes research to make a good spring... and generic brands can't just replicate a good one.. ground control would be good.
bumpstops are foamy material. i cut mine with a knife
