Go back to the shop or get one for what ever strut you used. Assuming you used a mk1 vw shock.

the bumpstop cup was from the festiva strut. They gave the strut back to me but no bumpstop cup!! They wont answer the phone now! I'm currently trying to cut this piece of metal cover thing that came with them to make a diy bumpstop cup.

Can you take a picture of the part you're talking about fudge?

[fudge]

well I dont have it and I dont really want to take the other one off but here is mike's pic. http://i764.photobucket.com/albums/x...224_224602.jpg
the topmost rusty cup is what im missing

I might just try to use a different part from the vw coilovers that fits the bump stop.

Edit: I am not able to upload pictures because it's saying they are all too big.

[fudge]

For some reason I am not able to post pictures, I made my picture 50kb and its still not letting me put it up. anyways, from the vw coilover kit the i put the top hat thing from the rear coilovers upside down in place of the bump stop cup. it fits well im just hoping it works well, will let you know after I test it out!

[fudge]

I just tested it and it seems to work fine! you guys think this will be a good permanent fix?

[Dragonhealer]

Very possibly, but if you can email a picture of a part that looks like the one they lost, to: dragonhealer60@yahoo.com ,along with your shipping address, I'll mail you one

That is not a Bump Stop Cup. It holds the Rubber spacer thingy like this but on the bottom side.

[fudge]

dragonhealer, i emailed you! thank you! yeah that part firebush, either way this one that I made work is doing the trick for me right now!

Sorry for resurrecting this thread but I have a question.

In the original how-to you use KYB rear shocks, is their any problem with using Billstein rears? They are only about $5 more and I feel a little bit better quality.

[Dragonhealer]

Someone here used the Bilsteins and made a concise report. But I can't remember who, nor find the thread.

[Team Lightning]

Seems like tominmo used Bilstein one time. I believe there's a thread on here.

Yeah tom used them but with stock springs.

[nitrofarm]

Yeah tom used them but with stock springs.

Wouldn't they be a little large?

[william]

They where used on the spring perches that come with the shocks not the coil over sleeves.

If any Aussies are looking at parts for this upgrade, there's cheap AFCO coilover sleeve kits (to suit rear - MK1 golf KYB struts) available at the moment,
$42 per kit (2 needed) here
Probably the cheapest you will find in Oz at the moment. Only 2 left so be quick!
