so i have this problem. I recently changed my old coilovers for some DropZone gas shocks.. I put them on and all, but they dont ride anywhere near smooth. Plus i feel every bump in the road.. is there anyway to fix this, or should i just replace them (again) with some better struts? If so, any recommended brands? Thanks for yur time.

 

Well you sacrifice some ride quality for better handling, that is the trade-off you make when you do this sort of thing.
But if its ultra-terribly bad, it might be due to installation error, like the car sitting far too low and riding on the bumpstops all the time, or some such.

 

Did you just replace the shocks? If so, what springs are you using them with? If it's full coilovers, contact Dropzone and find out the spring rates, and see how they compare to the car's stock spring rates. Also, if Dropzone is on the ball, they should tell you up to what spring rates their shocks can handle. Then you can get an idea if you're simply experiencing a stiffer suspension (as mentioned, sacrifice comfort for better handling) or something else. Often if the spring rates are higher than the shocks can handle you might get a bouncy ride too. What kind of car?

 

i drive a 93 eg hatch. when i bought the coilover system, it came with springs also.
