Is there a bumpstop setup for the S30 rear suspension? We're getting some pretty significant squat on hard acceleration - wouldn't be an issue if we weren't running wide wheels / tires and lowering springs.
Thoughts?
S30 rear suspension travel?

Re: S30 rear suspension travel?
they should have the generic bump stops that fit on the strut tube, I'm sure your OE's have long since rotted away
of course bumps stops won't help the squat only prevent you from bottoming out the struts, sounds to me like you need stiffer springs and or shocks with higher compression

No OE stuff remaining, all new. Tokico springs and shocks. I didn't see anything resembling a bumpstop (donut) when I replaced the rear suspension...

IIRC it was bonded to the inside of the upper spring mount, tokiko isn't exactly known for their great aftermarket springs on z cars
