Why "bump stops" (GPL)?

2 posts by 2 people · 19 Apr 1999 - 19 Apr 1999

I've been fiddling with the "garage" in GPL .. to good success .. and most things in there make sence to me and have a porpose. Though, I'm a bit baffled by the "bump stops". I know what happens when you bottom out onto the bump stops; though, I don't know why I would want the "bump stops" at anything but minimum setting all the way around?! I figure the effect of hitting the bump stops is no more desirable than the effect of bottoming out (scraping the ground) and the suspension can use all the travel it can use ... correct? Can someone tell me what I'm missing or why I would want the bump stops at anything but minimum? Thanks and regards, David Mocnay
