my coilovers are on there lowest setting and scrape the tyres, i dont want to roll my arches and the problem could be solved if i make a rear bump stops to go in my spring but im not sure on how to do this?

magpie- the ones you have for sale, are these the spring pads leeparkes in on about or something different?

Why don't you just put normal bump stops that you find on other cars on the shock absorber? That or roll your arches.

What type of adjustable spring are you using on the rear? Coilover unit or a separate spring and shock with the spring on an adjuster?

Dont particuly want to roll my arches and my shock has a metal casing welded onto it, i guess to stop dirt from grtting in. Yer its seperate spring and shock with an adjuster, i know i could just raise it up abit but that would make it to high for my liking. Would it work if i got my old spring pads in? One of the other guys that commented said it is built into that?
