Bump Stop kits now available....
For those of you who really want to top off your lowered Yaris with that extra little cherry, Fat Cat Motorsports is now offering easy-to-install bump stop kits.
The owner's name is Shaikh and he is a great guy. Customer service is awesome and more importantly, so is the product. Bump stops are a big part of a suspension system that many people neglect. So if your at all curious or maybe just wondering if these will improve ride quality or make your car fly, you should probably contact Fat Cat. That's my spiel.

sparktoyota guy told me they cut it when tehy install the springs..:
"Okay, when installing lowering springs on Struts, you cut the bump stop the same amount that you're lowering the car and in this case I believe that's going to be 1.2" so we're talking about 6/10's of one inch." -- Blen

Bumpstops are bumpstops, they all do the same thing unless your dealing with long travel off-road suspension and air-bumps, etc.. Why pay money to replace foam bumpstops with another foam bumpstop? Sure, they are different length, but if you can cut a nice square 90 degree angle, yours can be a different length too. I don't mean to be negative but save your money.

Also, you can get away with just the front setup. The rear is for those who want to go that extra inch. |

It says that they help regain smoothness and ride quality - but I have the tanabe Df's and I dont find anything super harsh enough about the ride with my cut bump stops to warrant spending any money on something like that. I guess if you were overly picky....

smoothness and ride quality when you're using the suspension at it's max.

I think I'm going to grab a set of these before I re-do my set up. Convenience is great. I hate to hack up my bump stops and not have them around if I wanted stock later for some reason.

Edit: Ok galavoxx, I read your origional bump stop post. I see why you need and want them. I don't have your issue of harsh bottoming out. This is why I say save your money to all those like myself who will see no benefit from these. |

My bump stops are not cut and I have never had any issues anyway.
