Is it okay not to install this KW part?

Prissy · 08-28-2013, 09:52 PM

My installer used the stock part instead of the one that KW V1 came with. Is it okay? What differences does it make? Thanks.

He should've used the part that kw gave the bumpstops are shorter and you might get a harsher ride cuz there might be less travel for the shock if they'll do it then tell them to put it on which I doubt also the dust covers prevent dirt and dust etc to go near the top of the shock which is the most part that messes up shocks

He told me that he had experience that with the kw bumpstops installed, he would experience noises. I don't know if that's true or not... Or maybe he did something wrong in the past.

The dust boots they're attached to can make a little noise but you should be running those bumpstops provided by KW!

When you say a little noise... Is that normal? And is the noise acceptable?
