The only bump-stops I know are the plastic 'rings' that fit in the front shock-absorber struts
for when it has ran-out of piston-movement (bottoming-out) and you get the characteristic 'bang' in a pothole etc.

it is used to protect your suspension from bottoming out.
high end dampers normally have internal bump stop

Car was actually running rough all weekend, three cylinders on friday and sat then down on power on the sunday. My gearbox blew up the week before the rally as well so I was running a standard gti box. The ratios were not great with a big gap between second and third. Bit of work to get it going 100% again
