   Even lower rear suspension mate. If your car touches the bumpstops in MOT its a FAiL

   Not realy, all u need to know is how to rip people off to be the manager, and hammer people on tyres, brakes and tracking, you dont need mechanical knowledge to work there.

    Think mine have been removed..Get the bang when i hit a big bump..Quite rare though..Not entirely sure whether its down to removed bumpstops though, i would have thought without bumpstops the tyre would hit the arch and shit, but it doesn't..
