The elastomer pad between the body and suspension that the suspension bottoms out on at full bounce (e.g. max compression travel).

I voted that I left them the stock length, but I don't think that is the correct answer. Watching this to see if I need to cut me some bumpstops this weekend!

my eibach pro-kit came with replacement for my 99, 03, and 05. Haven't yet decided if I want to drop the 07 or not, maybe just the rear. But if you don't get one with your kits, definately cut them!!

I have 305s and Steeda springs on the rear and if I had cut the stops the tire would rub the fender on speed bumps.
