As some of you might know I have a skunk2 suspension kit on my 95 coupe. Basically the car rides extremely stiff, absolutely no bounce to it.

Someone told me there is something I need to adjust in able to make a smoother ride but I can't remember what it was or who told me. So my question is, what can I do to get a smooth ride?

BTW I have no experience with suspension, struts ect. Ect. And if it helps I have the car at standard height.

so there is no bounce at all as in it rides like the shocks are frozen?

Yeah, its so stiff you can push down on the car and it will not move at all.

camber kit is hitting the inner fender lining. i had it happen to my old hatchback. Assuming you have a camber kit which you do correct? Something is hitting like your upper control are or something.

You have skunk2 coilovers or sleeves that fit on aftermarket shocks? Have you removed the wheel and looked to see if there was anything visual that could cause this?

I haven't done anything cause as I said I don't know a thing about suspension. I don't like tires in general lol

not doing anything will not help you solve your problem. lay under the car. see if it's hitting anything. jack it up. lower the car. and see if it sits on something. do the minimal at that.
if you have full coils and have dampers. you can adjust it on top of the strut. but even at the oat stiff position. it should still bounce. who installed them?

The previous owner installed them and had it really low. even then it was super stiff. I remember driving with him to Phoenix az and it feeling like running over a curb when driving onto bridges.

either shocks are completely blown or the camber kit is hitting up inside the wheel well. Or its so low the shock is completely bottomed out.

I'll jack the car up tomorrow morning and snap some pictures

So I took the car to a local shop and had them jack it up. Turned out that nothing was caught on anything but my coils were free moving/ not tight at all. So they adjusted them and it has a much smoother ride now. Not as smooth as I hoped but much better now

that means your shocks were bottomed out completely. You are probably gonna need to replace your shocks too. I'm sure if they arent blown now they are on their last leg
