I have Koni yellows and the bottom out bumpers are all busted up. Just dry rotted oldness. IDK if Koni sells them or if they are stock put on the struts? Where can I get replacements? Also the sleeve/metal collar that the strut goes into the top hat... I need to find those as I only have 1 correct one. Any help is appreciated.

 

Bump stops are usually reused stockers or aftermarket parts specific to the application.

On some cars, the bump stops are critical to the handling of the car. Miatas, for example. Not sure if the Mustang suspension is that "sophisticated". But, if it is, then the bump stops are designed to be progressive and act to increase the spring rate predictably at the limit of body roll. They can affect the over/understeer balance of the car in hard cornering. If you're running stock springs, this could be very relevant.

You'll probably have to go to Koni for the metal bushings you're talking about. That, or find a friend with a lathe.

 

Not quite sure what the mustang had to do with this but I got the idea lol. Does anyone sell aftermarket bump stops? Someone has to lol. I'm on a Koni Sports (yellows) and Neuspeed Sport Springs (green). 1.75" drop up front and 1.5" drop in the rear. Obviously I would have plenty of travel before the bump stop because 1.5" drop is usually what Koni recomends with sports but since I have them off and apart I figured I would make them like new. I just replaced the spring isolators with the Energy Suspension Poly ones since the stock old ones were all beat up. I think I'm just going to call Koni and see what they have to say.

 

Oops. Most recent discussion on here was about a Mustang and he just put Konis on it. That's where my brain went.

Sure, there are aftermarket bumpstops available. But, like I said, you want to get a set that are specific to your application. You CAN get generic ones from Energy and other sources, but you need to know what type, hardness and length to get things right. Better to use someone else's knowledge and/or trial-and-error experience there. (someone like Koni, or a reputable suspension tuner specific to your car)

 

I called them again today and left my name and number. Still waiting for a call back, I want to get this suspension done.

 

Any word yet from Koni?-Bob

 

I wish, I have called 6 times, left my name and number 3 times... I cant get a hold of anybody! Unbelievable! IDK what to do. I feel like this is going to be another Bridgestone type experience. It took me weeks to finally get a hold of someone about my tires lol.

 

Ground Control makes top hats in different varieties.

 

I know and I want to upgrade later to a GC setup with the extended top hats but right now I do not need them and I do not have the money to spend. I just want a few small parts to put these on my car.

 

Finally got a hold of them via email but in a whole day of replying was simply them asking what model struts, then what parts I was asking about. So I got absolutely no where because I did not get any pricing yet. Hopefully tomorrow they will get back to me. I wish they would just respond via phone because a 5 minute phone call is like a week of emails lol.
