Got skunk2 full coilover kit with LCA...slammed the civic but really bumpy
Never really drove a lowered car so i aint sure if its supposed to be bumpy or not, but when i lower it alot it shakes like crazy on bumpy roads...that normal? do all lowered cars shake like that?
and just out of curiosity what about ferraris and lambos and those crazy esxpensive low cars...do they shake too or are they specially designed not too?

Skunk2 coils make for a really rough ride. This is normal ......
Not really fair to compare your $150 lowering springs to decades of RnD from a $100K+ vehicle with sport-tuned suspension.

LOL. You can't compare oil shocks with magnetic shocks, and $700 coilovers with VERY EXPENSIVE car.
With the Skunk2 coilovers you have already lost the smooth ride of stock suspension. Skunk2 full coilovers are known to be really stiff.

I have the Skunk2 Pro Series Coilovers as well. They are a very stiff spring rate, and are meant to be stiff. Research would have been your friend before you purchased them.
You can get much more comfortable suspension setups, just look. I love mine, but that is me.
