Default New Skunk2 lowering springs

I just put on Skunk2 lowering springs and I was only able to get the fronts on today(backs going on tomorrow). When I was driving home the ride was very smooth at first and then it got really bouncing. Is that normal for new springs or did something go loose? I have never been in a car with upgraded springs so I don't know what the ride is like. Anything would help. Thanx.

yeah the turning is amazing. I live in Chicago and we are getting crazy rain and i am able to take a curve at around 30 mph without a problem. Now I have another problem though. My parking brake light on my dash won't go off. I have made sure the brake is off and i can't get it to go away. Any input would help.

Have you checked your brake fluid sometimes if it is low it will stay on.

I had to bleed the front left brake and i filled up the brake fluid before i did it. Maybe I lost some fluid. I will have to check.

Can you tell me which spring you back and which spring you put on the front ? Today I put on all 4, front and back, and the front tires rub like nuts.

i put the two smaller of the four in the front. Except now i think something has come loose because i am getting a clanking noise every time i hit a bump. I'm gonna check it tomorrow. Parking brake light still on too. Taking it the shop in a couple of days.
