Do bump stops make the suspension harder on the back or what? i have a sr that has been lowered 50mm with 15's and i get a bit of scrub on the alloys on the back do you think bump stops are they way to go.

It depends what bumpstops you go for and how big they are. If I were u i`d butcher 2 segments out of a geniune vauxhall stop and put one on each shocker, should stop it scrubbing. Be carefull though, go overboard or use too hard a stop (Spax are shit for ride comfort) and it`ll be like driving a brick!

well i chopped my rear bumpstops to give a better ride coz my 70mm slam at the back was a nitemare but my wheels dont scrub cos a jacked the arches out they will sort your scrapage out though they will make the car stiffer
