suspension problems / Jamex Bump Stops

[scirocco.gtx@juno.com (Mark A Peele)]

55mm drop? that's pretty radical (over 2").

I have H&R lowering springs, but mine only lower the car about 25-30mm
(1"). I use them with Boge Turbogas. This is the best set up I've ever
run. I am extremely happy with this setup.

The 2.0 block should not be materially heavier than a 1.8 (it's the bore
that's bigger) - I would not consider this a factor.

I am having problems getting an acceptable suspension set-up with 
current install: H&R 55mm drop springs with Boge Pro-gas shocks on an 
'85 Storm.
Tried with standard bump-stops - bounces like it's on a trampoline.
Take the bump-stops out and there is too much travel and it bottoms out 
hard.  The whole equation is complicated by the fact that the car has a 
'92 2.0 audi unit replacing the standard 1.8: with the block being a bit 
bigger, there's bound to be more weight over the front wheels.

Has anyone tried this spring/shock (or similar) combination?

Any opinions on the Jamex uprated bump-stops?

Budget is limited so Bilsteins are not the answer!
