Default suspension problems....

I have a problem with my suspension. Here's my set up:
94 2dr GSR w/ 143k
tokico illumina 5 way adj.-set on #3
weapon R dual circuit coilovers-car lowered aprox. 2"
neuspeed sway/strut bars all the way around the car

You would think with my set up, my car would ride and handle wonderfully right? well the handling part is true, but the ride sucks! Going over smooth surfaces w/ minimal holes and bumps, the car rides like a lowered car. But if i hit a sharp bump of any kind...it slams into the bump HARD as if i'm bottoming out or something. It did the same thing but not as dramtic when my car was raised up a little bit. Anybody have a clue what might cause this? possibly the way the coilovers were made w/ the dual coil? help me out people....thanks

How much of the bumpstop did you leave? Or, did you not even cut it at all?

yeah man, they are pretty shitty. you definitely don't want to be hitting the bump stop very often. i strongly suggest you get rid of em as soon as possible and get eibachs or some real coilovers: ground control

don't get coilover sleeves, get full complete coilovers like Tein or Apexi, you will never get the same performance from coilover sleeves and shocks
