sup guys just wonderin how many of u guys had bouncy civic or rex when u got it and wut did u do to solve the bouncing?

 

am guessing that the car was dropped by cutting the springs

Coilovers with aftermarket springs huh?

 

exactly what i was saying..hahahhahah...how can it be coilovers with aftermarket springs?????

 

My rex was bouncy as **** when I first got it. People seem to think it's perfectly fine to throw some stiff 3" lowering springs on 15 year old stock shocks designed to be used with a much longer/softer spring. Needless to say the shocks could not control the springs. I got a deal on some AGX's and have been happy ever since. Try new dampers/shocks.

 

sorry im real new to cars so i guess wut my real question is how can i make it not bouny....... sorry im dumb with cars

 

mine was nice and smooth
was untill ES bushings now its rough just the way your mother likes it

 

well mine was bouncy cuz it had gc's on stock shocks....solved it a bit by putting some decent shocks on

 

mine feels like evrey uneven stone in the road i feel and x10 on the freeway.

BTW how do i tell if my shocks, struts, any suspention part that could be bad on a 15 year old car is bad?

 

Racing application springs on a street car. Crappy springs. Car lowered two inches or more. Strut damping doesn't match the springs, the drop, or the road conditions. Struts too long for the drop. Too little profile on the tires. Low quality suspension components. Springs not captive when suspension is at full droop.

You can go on and on but people will still keep doing stupid **** to their suspension to look cool in the eyes of idiots. The rest of the people with this problem are ill informed or too cheap to do it right.

I raised mine up so that at least the front springs are captive and the drop isn't as ridiculous. But these ebay coilovers are pure **** and tokico blues are no good for any drop at all. Probably in bad shape from being dropped in the first place.
