Does my car ride rough because of my shocks?
or is it because I'm running GC's? I have OTS GC's and the KYB AGX's and my car is pretty low (slight tuck in the front and right on top of the tire in the rear). The car just rides rough. I can feel every bump in the road and big bumps make my car sound like the dash is gonna fall off! I guess my question is if I were to switch over to Koni Yellow's would it help the ride any or is the car just going to ride like this as long as I have it this low? It was pretty bumpy before when I first put the setup on and wasn't this low, but not as bad as it is now? Will the Koni's help or should I just go back to springs if I want more comfort on my dd?

if you dump your car you cant expect to have a real smooth ride. raise it up a tad and it should help you from bottoming out

It doesn't bottom out it just rides rough as hell. I know its not gonna ride like a cadillac or anything but I would like it a tad smoother.

konis might help im not to sure though but if you use the perch at the lowest setting you might be able to have the coil over a lil higher but then i think theres a different gc part # for the konis

Re: (Solracer)
Yes the bumpstops are cut in half. I'm not sure exactly how low it is (never measured before I put them on) but it slightly tucks in the front and is resting right at the tire in the rear with 15" rims and 205-50-15 tires. It doesnt bottom out ever, just is pretty rough riding unless the road is smooth.

they can go a lot lower sicne they will not bottom out internally.
