Suspension question

That's the problem then, they're not the correct dampers (take note that the seller called them 'shockers', which they're not). Also I don't think that it should be sitting on the bump stops like it is, but someone with a Custom 320 would have to confirm or otherwise.

IMO you'd probably get away with the dampers being wrong if it wasn't on the bump stops.

In other words you haven't got a clue How do know there the wrong dampers when the spring/axle is sitting on the bump stop ? what would the "correct" damper suddenly lift the spring up away from the bumpstop wait for the name calling to start

As conrod said above, Bilstein have a video on FB showing the installation on a custom sport, the Technician cuts off the lower section of the stop at about 1:24.

that's the video I was looking for! Looks like yours haven't been cut, I can see 4x bellows on there. It is a cheap and easy job to do, and certainly worth a crack.

Here is mine, which is stock, also has 4x bellows.

Thanks for that. How many should be cut off? Or is it a case of one at a time and see?

Hi.

Any update?

I'm interested as I have recently bought a tourneo and I'm thinking of dropping it.

I’ve not had it done yet due to work commitments . It’s booked in for a couple of weeks time. I will report back once done.

So I’ve had the bump stops cut down and now I can drive the thing without feeling green around the gills. It’s made a huge difference to the ride! Thanks for the info you guys have offered!
