I swapped in the SVT bumpstops this weekend. The only difference I could see is that the SVT one has about 3/16" - 1/4" removed from the top (flat) side. Other than that, the shape looked identical. Maybe there's a subtle change in the spring rate too, but nothing you could detect with your fingers.

Would I do it again? No! If I hadn't also wanted to make some measurements for spacers to move the ride-height up to reduce bottoming and understeer, I would have felt quite silly for going through the work.
