there was an excellent article in Sport Compact Car back in the day when they actually respected FBs. They cut about 1" off the rounded point of the bump stops, IIRC.

When i pulled my bumpstops off they fell apart from the washer. I just took some new SS fender washers and slapped some contact cement on that and the rubber bump and good as new.

Sport Compact Car actually respected the FB at some point?! Not trying to pirate the thread, but does anyone recall an issue month/year so I could look up some articles? I've [mostly] liked SCC's tech articles and writings styles before, and I think it would be an interesting read.
