    Bomp Stops, poly v rubber

    Looking for thoughts on poly bump stops verse spacer blocks and original rubber. My guess is rubber would work better and be less harsh. Or is poly ok?

    I'm really happy with the extended poly ones that I bought from Paddocks ANR41889PE | Extended bump stop - polyurethane

    They don't seem harsh at all, but you can see from the witness marks that they are definitely doing some work.
    I know of another club member here with a D2 that was having issues with chewing up standard rubber stops so gave them a try. He's very happy with them and they are lasting well.

    As with suspension bushes, there are many different grades of poly, so I can only comment on this particular brand. Others may be hard as rocks.

    Had the orange Poly stops on the RRC for 5 years now and they are not too harsh and have lasted well

    Still have the original rubber ones on mine Jason and they've kept the pads on the diff housing well polished.
