Default anyone replace the bump stops on Tein Flex's?

I installed my tein Flex's and have been adjusting them for the past 4 days. I haven't had any noise problems other then this dull knocking noise at slow speeds. I think it's from these cheap bump stubs they put on the shocks.

They have a lot of play in them and wobble around. I've always known for bump stubs to fit tightly. These dust covers don't even block out dust or dirt. Other then this minor complaint, Flex's are sweet!

Anyone replaced any of these parts for something else? Any brands and where to purchase?

Check over the stuff they did, you know tighten down what they did sometimes when you drvie the car around, the shocks and springs are settleling so try and retighten them. Check your swaybars. That was the problem I had. We put the car on the lift and started moving things around to see what was loose and we found that the front swaybar was not tight enough and that stopped all the knocking and man was I happy.
I did use the sock stops and all is well now. So take the time, get under the car and feel for the stuff they had to remove to install the spring.

Good Luck

I installed it myself to make sure everything was done right. I'll check the sways though, thank you.
