Strut Boot / Bump Stop 240Z

[biddljj]

I am replacing the struts in my 240Z

I got some strut boots for a 280Z that I am lookinh to use on the

240. I also obtained some bump stops.

Is the idea of using the bump stop + the 280Z bump stop over-kill ?

I am sure you want only one bump stop per strut. If you do as shown in your picture, you will have little if any compression (bump) travel.

Definately overkill. the black one will do the trick fine. If anything using both will cause a bump with regular shock travel.

Where did you get the strut boots?

No, not overkill, just bad. On a 240Z with it's lower ride height, doubling bump stops will eat all your suspension travel. Pick one or the other.

I installed bump stops all the way around. With the springs cut and the travel diminished some what , the soft stops still offer a great ride. I will bottom on them on speed bumps if I take them at some speed. However even on uneven roadway the ride is good. These are the only energy suspension parts left . I have been told that this is the brand Nissan is now selling for our cars.
