Do you have to order the rear bump stops? Are they called something else cause Auto Zone has something that is called a round pull through bump stop. It dont look like the one that fell off my car at all. Im stumped.........

AFAIK they are only available from the dealer
Keep in mind that there are two different rear bumpstops. one for regular firebirds with 16" wheels and one for the WS6 equipped cars with 17's.

Their shaped differently and the WS6 ones havea spacer also.
Most people who have lowered cars prefer the standard ones becase it allows for more suspension travel.

Will either one fit?
9T8W66
Yes they both fit.

interesting, would ws6 bump stops be better for my car with 17 inch ZR1 rims on it I wonder? huh.gif

I just bought new OE ones for my T/A from the local Chevy dealer 'bout a year ago. Couldn't find them at AutoZone, Advance, O'Reileys, anywhere. If you want I can look into getting some for you, I get great deals there so the price will be right if you want them. I think the ones I got for the standard T/A(non WS6) were $30ish.

Thanks but I found some at the dealership up here and he let them go for $15 for both cause he said in 2 years he never sold one... thanks tho..
