yesthxgby

 

ok thanks i knew that

 

Why does everybody think Tein is a "good" kit? Hands down, Ground-Control is the best...

Anyways, if your car is truly bouncy, that means your springs are too stiff for your shocks. That issue can go both ways. If you want to keep the stiff spring rates, your gonna need stiffer shocks. If you want to keep the shocks, your gonna need softer springs.

Are you sure the car is actually bouncy? When it hits a bump, does it continue to bounce on down the smooth road afterward? If that's the case, yes your springs are too stiff for the shocks.

FYI: Poor quality springs don't really have to much to do with ride quality. What happens is they can sag over time (car gets lower), the spring rate can change over time, and they can also just break in half.

 

^^ thanks fr commets. its just that the springs are lame

 

You may have the car so low that the it's riding on bumpstops every-time you hit a bump. Which means that you can either get much, much stiffer springs and some serious shocks to handle them, or raise the car up.

Thats incorrect. Springs are springs, as long as they don't break. Cheaper ones can weaken over time and sag, but thats just a lowering of the spring rate. They in and of themselves do not determine ride quality.

This man speaketh the truth. Check how much shock travel you ahve before hitting the bumpstops. If you have adequate travel, then you need more sock. Adjust the shocks stiffer, and see if the bounce goes away. If you don't have AGXs, then you almsot definately do not have enough shock, as I'm betting the springs are fairly stiff. Most adjustable height springs are vey stiff, for those fools who dump the car 3+" (me included). I drove for 6 months with the car sitting on the bumpstops at ride height, very bouncy.

 

i drive in the city very easy becuse the roads in here are so lame and sucks.
i dont hit speed bump , i need to pass it very very slow becuse the car is lowwwwwww..
and the springs are very soft that the reason the car is jumping in some lame roads.
