Hey right on, you've got the setup I want. What did you do for rear bump stops?

A shop did the install right? I'm just wondering what the shop might have done concerning the oem bumpstops. I saw a post on my350z.com where a Jic user did some trick work with the oem rear bump stops, just wondering how things are without doing that.

Rear bump stops? You don't need no STINKING rear bump stops! :-)

I am curious as to how your rear camber is?

orljmh: Well there is alot of rear camber. i hope to get it fixed soon. But as for the moment i will keep it this low for this week. After this week when i get the sways put on, it will be raised.

As for rear bumb stops. I still have no idea and honestly i dont think we need them. And the setup i have is for the G35 coupe not a 350Z.

Damn Arash, I'm glad you went with the JICS. Same suspension I had before I sold them. Your ride looks perfect! Oh man, look out CLINT! This guy is gonna claim the streets of Willow!

 

I wonder if the dust boot's have bump stop's built into them, never say never on bump stops, ya never know. Bottoming out a shock internly is mucho bad. I noted you had the coupe and knew that's the Jic setup you'd have, mechanically it's the same as the Z setup, different valving and softer rear spring rates. I had a hard landing with my car a while back, compressed my bumpstops to the thickness of a sheet of paper, you won't catch me running without them, I got a lil to eager chasing down my brother in the foothills.
