      Once those coil bind, they gotta be mean. And before that, they are a spring. I don't get them, honestly.

            Post number two could have used a question mark after the first sentence... that would have changed everything.

              I like the linear properties of a bump spring. I like the durability of an elastomer. You can make an elastomer linear within an adequate range of travel with some creativity.

                A bump spring will out last a bump stop any day

                  Is durability really an issue? How do bump springs survive coil bind?

                        Are you talking seperator washer or Bellvelle stack?

                          I posted on here a year or so ago about springs instead of rubber bumpstops and the response I got from these pro's on here was that I was crazy. I was in a shop and saw the spring on the shock shaft and inside the spring cup. It was about the size of a valve spring. This spring may not have had anything to do with it but the guy killing the competition every weekend so he was doing something right.

                            If you want to have a second stage with a 1500#, you can do that with coilovers. Then if you want a stop, rubber is better. What color underoos did that fast guy have?

                              I looked at a Lucas oil car last spring and it had bump springs on it. Went back today and it had pucks stacked and no bump springs. I also saw some screwed up stuff all over that thing. Interesting to say the least.
