Can someone measure or tell be the length of the stock bump stop on the front shocks...Mine were destroyed over the years and my car keeps bottoming out . Any help...

Thanks

they are built into the top rubber and boot. just replace the whole thing, I figure rubber suspension bits should be replace at about 50-60k miles

 

well I tryin to find the cheaper route...I found some shock boots that fit from advance auto..They're for a truck but they fit ...they also come with a poly bump stop but I was afraid it might be to tall so I didn't put them on. This is why I'm asking this question now so I can see if the are close...I can always cut them...
here's a pic of the truck boots on the car! It attaches to the top on its own and the bottom is zip tied!
thanks

I have used Koni bump stops in past on my 1st gen and 3rd gen (get from www.truechoice.com). Now I do not remember if I have the Koni stops on Front, back or neither .. all I remember is findling trying to use factory boot and koni stop .. do not remaimber where i ended up

 

I don't mean to pick on you, but why is your car bottoming out so often in the first place? Are your shocks shot? Or are you driving the **** out of it? Bottoming out constantly isn't a good thing even if you do have the proper stoppers in place. That force has to go somewhere and it starts working on things you don't want worked on.

 

well here in New Orleans the roads have holes that people lose their car's in...The interstates suck...also and they are also in the process of working on them so the roads are all hacked up! On top of that they like to make the roads dip and rise a lot and this is where it is mainly happening. I have new tokico adjustables on them (#3 setting all around). I'm thinking that most of it might be my springs...They are the stock ones...I have about 1" from the top of the fender to my tire..does that sound about normal? Either way it shouldn't be doing it and bump stops would help...let me know!

I'm not sure of the size of the stock bump stops (it's hard to measure as the boot is molded around them) but the whole stock rubber spring assembly for the front is about $65 a side. Well worth it. The driver's side usually sags after a while, which makes your car ride lower in the driver's front. New parts and it's good to go.
