Sorry guys and gals, not been on here for a long time, but need help with the Mrs Corsa Sport.

I recently changed the suspension over, bought the setup from LMF Vauxhall, the FK suspension £150 I paid (I think)

Anyway, I've been running it for about 6 months now and it's a hard ride, but going over bumps and pot holes it bangs like f**k... Is that normal??

Cause I don't think it is... If not is their anything I can do about it?

This is probably where I am goign to look stupid and say no, I didn't know I had to!!!

Thought they would have been internal bump stops!

So to resolve, will I have to take the struts out and put some stops in over the Inner strut?

If thats the case, how much am I looking at the get some?

Sorry to be a retard, but not had much dealing with them!

take them back off, get your original bumpstops off and cut them in half so they are smaller. then use the top half in the FK shock and put it where a normal bumpstop would go. put it back together. job done.
