Experience with KONI Bump Stops?

Featured Replies

Just removed and disassembled all four struts and will be replacing the shocks and springs. I was using the MSA urethane bump stops which seem to be very firm, so I am considering switching to KONI bump stops when I reassemble as they seem to be fairly soft for the first inch of compression according to the published compression vs. force curve. In couldn't find anything searching this forum and am looking for real world feedback/experience with the KONI bump stops.

Thanks,

John

They are great, when you go over train tracks too fast with the hard poly bump stops it's a bone jarring experience,  the urethane foam bump stops are much more forgiving as they engage sooner and compress a little more.  

I have them on all four corners and love them.

Thanks for the feedback. That is what I am looking for, something more compliant than hard urethane. I'll be putting them in with new Koni shocks.

The origin story,  had forgot all about that thread. I did check out FatCat but for some reason bought the Koni's bump stops instead, they are still on the car and working well.
