You can also use the rubber(or poly) from swaybar endlinks from a big american car. They are really cheap at autozone.

Thats a good idea too, probably would fit a little better I drove it around a little last night and today and because i forgot to tighten the set screw on the spring perch, I was slammed There is a very good chance I was on the bumpstops because they were pushed all the way up, and they're still all there. So far they're holding up. I just wish I could get my front to raise up a little more, I'm going for a stock ride height and I'm having to compress the spring with he pearch to get it to go anyhigher.

| Quote, originally posted by Voodooboy520 » | Bumpstops from Honda: $20 each Autozone bumpstops: Non exsistant Petsmart bumpstops: $12/4While putting my Koni\GC's on I noticed my stock bumpstops crumbled and fell away, most likely from the track events I drove on stock suspension. When I considered my options I decided a little creativity was in order, so after brainstorming with a friend we came up with dog chews. One trip to Petsmart later, I had these: 
They feel identical to bumpstop material, and are the right dimentions. First, I clipped 1" pieces off the ends. I found it easier to drill a hole, and then use heavy wire cutters to cut around: 
Cut to about 1": 
I used a 1/2" drill bit to ream it out maybe 1/16". In order to effectively ream with a drill bit that was too small, I made the hole smaller: 
After that, they should fit on the shock shaft: 
And just for fun: 
So there you go, all new bumpstops for $12. I was also considering filling dixie cups with window weld, but it would have taken too long to cure and I'm not sure the longevity of poly.
| hahaha thats genius! if i were you, i would look for the black rubber that kong sells. i think its the strongest of all the materials they use and i can vouche for that!! my 75 lbs pitt was able to chew any damn toy i threw at him and some dry wall, carpet, jeans, and even metal. but i bought a kong ball (the black one) and that thing never even dimpled! lasted long enough for me to lose it. EDIT: how about using four of these?? http://www.doggy-gifts.com/s.nl/it.A/id.2697/.f

I saw those, but they were like $10/each. Plus the rubber was like indestructable, and I figured you wanted bumpstops to give some.

Quick update: after almost 3 hours on track, bumpstops are still intact.
