(S) Bumpstops for Lowering?

Guys - as per earlier posts - going to lower my car using PI springs from POTN.co.uk - Lowers 35mm - Then just need some 17" wheels..........
POTN recommend fitting Bumpstops? Are these needed or are they just after another £20?

In a word, no.

Yes I agree - No

A lot of us are lowered, ranging from 30mm to a lot more and I don't remember any of us using bumpstops!

I dont even know what they are!

Nope me neither, just another £20 they want off ya!!

What is a bumpstop???
I don't know about you guys but i often touch with the nose of the car on big speed bumps and on high paths or even on steep ramps (and i even have the engine cover held up bacause it "bellys" down, that's the part thet touches)

Yeah i often scrape the black bit that runs round the bottom of front bumper, at least you have an engine cover to hit.........mines never had one!

Mine never came with an under engine cover either.

Bump stops are basically what their name suggests, they stop the suspension bottoming out when going over a particularly bad bump, and causing damage. There's more of a science behind it than that but I can't be bothered. Unless you're planning on dropping your Stilo -80mm or more, don't bother spending your money on them.

Pain in the A this scraping and this is another reason why im not lowering my car and didnt want a full floor scraping front bumper as i said its a pain and can be an expensive one

Oh how id love to drop mine that low! Maybe if i ever convince myself to buy air suspension

ooo air suspension!! fun!...you know you could buy a *hitroen for something like that

The hydro suspension isnt on newer citroens. Thankfully!

But why would i want one of them!

Damn right bloody frog cars

I know i was just saying ...i hate driving dad's *cough* C5 *cough*..and i only ever move it off the drive...everything all stiff, whereas the stilo is all, well just GREAT!! but i can't convice him to buy a Fiat.
