New Shock and Springs now Bouncy
Hi,
We just installed a new set of Illuminas and H&R Sport for the 95 Accord and its way too bouncy.
Is it because there are new and need of drive in or in need of Allignment?
Right now I have not done any allignment yet, we just finish the car and I test drive it and its bouncy.
I set the settings on all 4 shocks to the stiffest which is 5 and the car is bouncy even on flat roads.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

i thought being bouncy even on "seemingly" flat roads is normal oO
im on koni yellow + eibach prokit, and i just recently set my koni to complete firm and it bounces every so often
they sqeek like hell too
i made them 100% soft and now they "seem" to squeek less, will have to driveo ver course of few days
thats all i can come up with w/o inspection =\

well thats a major issue, you need to cut the bump stops in half.
also is it bouncy or stiff? there is a major difference...
