Desperately need Suspension Help

[wildcatgoal]

It is based on vehicle options / trim packages.

So for example, an S550 with an 18" wheel has different bumpstops than a Premium model with 20" foundry wheels.

Yeah but the same car with two different bump stops in the rear? :shrug:

I see. Well I cannot explain that, but the part #'s are indeed different from L to R.

My cars have all featured similar heights L to R....but it would not surprise me to see a mix match from the factory. It definitely happens more than one may think.

 

[wildcatgoal]

Eh... weird stuff. Mine were exactly the same and same part number. Until I mutilated them...

I have a performance pack and the steeda progressive, I trimmed the first nub off all of mine, which was about 1". Should I have went to 1.5 inches or is it ok?

If you have no issues or complaints, leave it.

From what I understand, the overall length of the bumpstop should be 1.5" AFTER you've trimmed whatever was left above that length.

Thanks guys.

Alright, now I'm getting really pissed off. I cut the bumpstops down to 1.5" and it didn't help the bounciness at all. However, I've noticed that there is a squeaking/creeking going along with the bounce. Wtf is that? I had zero issues with the suspension before it went into storage. The minute I took it out, it started to fee worse and now squeaks. Any thoughts? I'm going nuts here.

Just got them delivered today. Waiting on some good weather this Sunday to install them. I am counting on these to work, if not, looks like I am going to upgrade to RideTech coils.

It worked for me, jbailer, Rebellion, wildcatgoal, to name a few. I was upset enough with the bounce that I was going to look at softer springs.

I am upset right now about the bounce to the point where I was going to go all the way back to the LCA bearings and switched everything back to stock lol. I figured if the Steeda mounts don't work, its because Roush coils didn't account for the elimination of all the rear bushings. My fault for not going with a full adjustable coil in the first place.

I just don't understand how a mount would stock the bounciness. Especially since it didn't appear to have it before storage. I also don't think that would be causing the squeak/creek either.

[MENTION=10281]BmacIL[/MENTION] explained it pretty well in another thread and it helped me understand how the mount do help. Not sure about the squeak/creek, but I do sure hope the they correct the bounce.

There are a few threads with the answers but here's some from yesterday:
