Bumpstops needed

On my car, I installed some Eibach Pro-Kits. In my town, the roads are terrible! I heard to buy some bumpstops for it. I went and found some BBK bumpstops on summitracing. I thought it would be the number needed, but I just got one. I do need one for each wheel, right? I was just looking to find out. Thanks!!

Your car only has one bump stop (aka - pinion snubber). It is mounted to the body right above the center of your axle housing/rear end. It has 3 8mm bolts that attach the bracket to the body, then take off the old pinion snubber and attach new one, reattach bracket to body. Pretty simple and you only need the one. If you need anything else just IM me.

You only need one. It is centered above the axle housing(1) which incloses both(2) axles. Good luck.

So is there nothing for the front of my car? It never bottoms out in the rear, just near my motor. Thanks!!

Do you KNOW it is bottoming out? or do you "think" it is bottoming out? The front struts have a bump stop on each one but unless you cut the springs, bought the wrong ones or are hitting tank traps for potholes you likely are not hitting them. Just because it's rough doesn't mean you are bottoming out. The fact that you bought Eibach Pro springs tells me your ride is going to be harsh...perhaps you should have bought the sport springs

Uh, it is hard for me to explain. Sorry, I am a man of few words. It does ride kind of rough; I just took that along with my Eibach's though. I feel about every bump. The streets where I live are not the best. When they throw out the asphalt, they do not even smooth it down. By doing this, I feel like they just made it worse. I took it as bottoming out, but it does not sound how you described it though! I know for a fact I did not get the sportline springs for it. I liked the 1' it lowered it and did not want to go lower. Thanks!!

Under my motor is a brace of a thing, I think that rubs, maybe.

Sorry, I never knew much about cars. When I was in the ATV wreck, I lost it all!!
