FRPP Strut kit & bump stops lil help please

[1QwkEcoBoost]

So I recently decided to do something about my ecoboost pp with eibach pro kit bounce. It's driving me crazy.

Ordered the FRPP strut kit M-18000-F and a set of BMR performance linear springs SP080. These struts comes with bump stops that fit snug around the strut shaft. From what I read you're supposed to use the FRPP jounce kit with aftermarket springs. Which I ordered. But, the bump stops for the front do not sit snug on the shaft there is like 3/8" of slop around the inside of the bump stop and the shaft of the strut. The bump stop slides all the way to the bottom of the shaft.

So do I use the bump stops that came with the strut kit and trim them or use the jounce kit the way it is?

Thanks!

I have trimmed the factory bump stop for others and no complaints

Hmm, that's odd about the front strut bump stop having that much play in it. You are referring to the FRPP front struts and the bump stops that came with the M-18000-F kit, right? Or are you saying that you also ordered a separate jounce kit in addition to the M-18000-F kit and these are the ones that fit loosely? I just installed my FRPP M-18000-F shock/strut package a few weeks ago and used the bump stops that came with the M-18000-F. Also, the bump stops in the M-18000-F kit are already shorter than the factory bump stops.

Yeah I bought the additional frpp jounce kit not knowing the struts came with bump stops already. So did you cut the bump stops that came with or were they already shorter? Sounds like I need to return the kit I bought then.

Thanks!

The bump stops that came with the M-18000-F kit were already shorter, I didn't have to trim anything. They also fit perfectly. I made sure they were shorter by comparing them to my stock ones, which I had laying around in the garage.
