Suggestions, sources of narrower bumpstops, etc. are welcome.

That was the only thing they had to machine while installing the prototype kit on mine. It wasn't very hard to do, any shade tree mechanic could do it in their garage with the proper tools. They used a lathe on mine since they had one handy. Every GC kit I've had required you to mod a bump stop regardless but this one is a little different. The diameter of the rear rubber bumpstop is just slightly larger...

Im in the process of re-doing my Insight from the ground up as it was hit while parked and now I had to re-do the entire front of the car... I am very very interested in the GC coilover setup since the chances of my 2006 RSX-S engine going into the Insight look very high right now. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
