FCM bumpstops

[Majik]

Well I will be replacing the shocks soon, and I am going to replace the bumpstops. I was thinking OEM, until I did some searching and found the FCM bumpstops. I am using old school FM springs, AGX shocks, and stock NB mounts. Would the 36mm be a good choice? What is the difference between stock and these besides length? Is it going to increase or decrease ride quality? Is it going to decrease the shock life? What else should I hear before buying these? Thanks.

You have an NB already, right? Not much difference I would think, as the FCM are sort of patterned off of the NB bumps. Shorter (i.e. the 36mm) might be better with the FM springs, though.

You can always call Shaikh on his cell and have a chat - I did before I bought his stops to go with my Ground Controls.

I have FCM short bumps, and they are awesome.

I would recommend FCM bumps to anyone replacing shocks.

As mentioned before, Shaikh is a super guy and a Miata guy.

I wish I had heard of FCM before putting shocks on my car. I would've used them. (Thanks for the heads-up, Rogue!)
