i was wondering if anyone has an extra set of hotchkis spring bumpstops for the front struts...i just finished installing trd struts with my hotchkis springs...toyota had warrantied both front stock struts after they blew out after i installed the hotchkis springs...well i found out when i took the stock struts out of the front springs, the dealer had left the hotchkis bumpstops out and forgot to re-install them on the warrantied struts...i'm riding around without bumpstops on the front struts, which isn't a huge deal, but there are plenty of potholes...i'm trying to avoid to keep from bottoming the trd struts out...if anyone has the hotchkis front bumpstops or knows where i could find them, i would greatly appreciate it...

did the dealer install everything for you? If so take it back and tell them you need the bumpstops on there? If its that easy.


BTW- how do you like the ride compared to the stock shocks?

i installed the springs originally...shortly after, the front struts took a crap and the dealer actually warrantied them for me...that's when the bumpstops did not get re-installed on the warrantied struts...that was 6 or 7 months ago...

and to answer your question, the ride with the hotchkis springs and trd struts is extremely good...a whole lot more responsive suspension now!

never mind...emailed hotchkis and told them my situation...got back to me within 10 minutes...sending me two new bumpstops free of charge! props to hotchkis!

yea this was what i was afraid of also. The stock struts getting blown out, so before i have the hotchkis springs installed im gonna get trd struts. and have them installed at the same time. Great free of charge, thats just great :D
