i got a mid '80s carrera frontend with the black struts, so i'm assuming i've got the stock 911 boge shocks.
the car is lowered quite a bit and i was hitting the 3-piece rubber stops frequently. i was told i could safely cut the rubber stop down to 2 pieces, which i did and it helped quite a bit, adding more shock travel. but i still bottom out occasionally on a larger bump etc. so, my question is, for the boge shocks, can i safely remove a second piece from the rubber stop and run a one piece stop only ???

You can run without any rubber at all ... as long as you have something on the shaft that is thick enough to prevent the shock from bottoming out internally. Race parts suppliers like Pegasus sell plastic disks with a slot and a hole in the center that you can stack on the shock for this purpose. If you actually collapse the shock to the point that the disks are engaged the spring rate will rise suddenly instead of gradually like with the stock bump rubbers. |
