Mp3 bumpstop for p5
I'm ready to install my Eibach springs. I read from the protege FAQ that they recommand using the MP3 Bump stop instead of the Factory P5 bump stops. I want to know what's the advantage of using MP3 bumpstop? Also for ppl with Eibach,and factory shocks,how's the ride of this setup? How long have you had them?How are they holding up? Thanks

AFAIK the OEM MSP struts do not come with bumpstops, and I wouldn't expect them to because the bumpstops on a G3 Protege are part of the top strut mount.
The advantage of using the MP3 bumpstops is that they're shorter and stiffer than regular Protege bumpstops. They will give you a little more suspension travel and absorb bottoming out better than a cut-down stock bumpstop.
