New Suspension ?
ok.. i just installed my ground control coilovers with my kyg agx shocks.. and i set the shocks on setting 1 all around with a one finger wheel gap..
the ride right now is bouncy has helll.. i feel like every bump on the road
is this normal or do you gotta break in the new springs and shocks? like.. will it be like this for now then feel better later on? or should i stiffen the shocks? would that help?

Did you cut your bump stops ? If not youll have to cut them in half to prevent the car from riding on the bump stops. The lower you go the shorter the shock travel. Since you have adjustables, try setting them on 3 at first then play around wit it to your desire HTH.

If you have the right dampers nothing is bouncy. I'm running the V-Spec v.2 coils. Started out with Tokico blues - bouncy and rough. Switched to Koni yellow's, they stop the bouncing completely and make the ride alittle nicer. Yours are adjustable also, try playing around with the settings. From what I've heard about GC's the ride should be pretty smooth - most people complain about the springs being too soft if anything so with the right combo you shouldnt be feeling the road so much.

This isn't necessarily true for all setups. For example, H&R specifically notes not to cut the bumpstops. Cutting the bumpstops differs between manufacturers.

i got the bumpstops in.. didn't cut them
not sure about the spring rates.. they're set for an integra tho
i'm at setting ONE all around.. i'll try it on 2 all around and see how it rides.. i read on other posts that's what they use...
i'm thinkin i gotta break them in tho.. get used to being on the car?
