Does anyone know if the stock sport package damper bump stops are the same as stock se bump stops ?
Just wondered with the sport package being 15mm lower than se if the bump stops were 15mm shorter.

The LCI sport package bump stops are different from the pre-LCI sport bump stops. In other words, they are most certainly different on an SE suspension. Best thing to do is check the part numbers. www.bmsfans.info.

reason i ask is that i have noticed with my stock sport springs that there is only around 1 in of suspension travel before bump stop compression starts, which surprised me. I would think a good 1 in of travel would be a regular occurance under normal driving conditions, and wouldnt have expected the bump stops to come into play under normal driving, only when hitting a severe bumps/pot holes etc.
