What springs are you using?

What are the spring rates?

I've been adjusting that darn thing like a mad man. after all there are only 5 settings. If lets just say it had worked and I did the "push down on car and see car bounce" technique would I be able to see and feel the difference?

I've been using the spring that came with it. the tokico illumina-r is an illumina adjustable and coilover combo with springs.

oh yeah. For sure. On the softest it bounces like a Caddie and the hardest setting it doesn't bounce. Must be binding up somewhere.

It is most likely the springs. I am willing to bet that the spring ratse are too high and that is why it feels bouncy.
