bouncy ride
ok well i knew this was gon to happen but my ac obviuosy bounce because i just coilover conversion on it how do i get it to bounce not so much could i replace the struts i dont want have to replace the whole system because i dont have a grand to point into at this moment in time but im also not sure what kind they are i bought them from a friend of mine and he didnt know what they were so if any would could help it would be much appreciated
did you cut the factory bumpstops when you put in the coilovers? if not, you are bouncing around on foam right now. take it back apart and trim the bump stops 1/2 or 1/3 depending on how low you want to go...but if hit a big *** bump with them cut to 1/3, you will most likely damage your struts.
When it comes to suspension modifying, do NOT skimp at all. Just because you got some $100 springs or coils does not mean that you are good to go. If you are looking to drop your chassis a few inches, then please for the sake of all tegs, save some money and get the REAL deal suspension products. (For example) I have some Koni Yellows on all four corners w/adjustable coils and this in my opinion is still not enough. Tein makes some impressive products too. It comes down to not skimping on these things man.
i've got the tein basic coilover and damn it handles great but daily driving sucks.. its so rigidity and bouncy.. I even heard the flex coilover kit is still bouncy.. If u live in a area where u gonna have to go over holes and dents.. u definately need a better street set up
WTF!!! I just seen a 240 going by looking like a bounce house the other day. lol. Just get a top notch setup(something that is most likely very expensive) because if you dont then just forget messing with your suspension at all and keep that chassis stock
Take it from experience from a guy that has blown his stock struts a few times during my life.

hehe i've gone through more than a few struts. i went through 2 sets of stockers, 1 set of bilsteins, and i finally bought real struts (tokico illuminas) and they still ride like the day they were new, which is a little over 2 years ago.
for getting good stuff the first time around.
