Not many kits come with bump stops, but on my Ignis I had genuine Suzuki Sport 20mm lowered springs and it had very clear instructions on where to cut bump stops to reduce them, something that all the aftermarket ones gave no indication of.
I posted that info on the owners club site and everyone with cheaper (by cheaper I mean cheaper than SS as being a manufacturer part they were expensive compared to aftermarker including premium brands such as H&R) aftermarket ones did as Suzuki instructed and instantly said car was better as not hitting bump stops.
I know that on Emma's old car (Martins now) which ran Wietech matched dampers/springs and on the Sei which runs KW again matched dampers/springs , Jon measured the suspension when compressed on the car with no bump stops and then with bump stops fitted and then worked out how much/if any had to be cut off them to ensure the bump stops performed as they should and not interfere with the compression of the suspension.
It is interesting to note on some modern cars now the bump stops are built to perform as part of the suspension, the bump stops on the new 500 are massive, though not relevant to Cinqs, so why add it..............
Anyway, on my old Cinq (Fingers) I used new Monroe bump stops which I again measured and cut down to suit as my old bump stops were rotten. Bump stops normally include a dust shield which can help to lengthen the damper life.
