[V8] Bump stops

[Dave Saad]

Hi Tom,
thanks for the info. I have the same issue with the threaded part of the rod being to long.  The manual shows something called a "Shock Absorber Mounting Ring" which is item# 7 on the exploded part diagram from the manual page 42-70-1. I did not take off a part like that - but maybe it should be there? There is a rubber thing included in the shock parts kit that I don't know what to do with so I left it out. It could not possibly be a spacer, but the very skimpy installation instructions show something like it in an impossible place.  The instructions by the way look like they were translated from german to english by a dolphin.  I can't believe the poor quality of the translation.

As for your spring positions difference - are you looking at two parts from the same side of the car?

The one on the right is the original from the Lago(70K or so at that point).  Regardless, the bilstein's bolted in and work flawlessly after I ground a bit off the top of that rod.  I threaded my die on there first to clean up the threads after grinding.  Tom
