it would seem you need to raise the car at least an inch and a half (or so, if its totallydropped), in order to let the shocks/dampred actually do their work.

Try 3 up front 5 in the back after that.

 

ya but thats high as hell...im not tryina go up 1.5". thats crazy high.

LOL, then get used to the bouncing.

There is a trade off here , you decide what you want. Ed gave you good advice.

 

i knwo raisin it is gonna fix the problem...but who wants a barely 1" lowered car?

I guess you? If it handles good, why should it matter?

I think a valid suggestion was made to you. From there you went "ricer" with you dawg that shitz gotta be slammed y0.

Get over it. Either raise the ride a bit (maybe not 1.5" play with it a bit) or deal with the bounce. There is a trade off here, you can't have the best of everything in ever aspect.

Lets work on composing complete and coherent sentences before you start with the E-thuggin.

 

i know. i just wanted some legit responses to c if theres anythin else i could do u know.

 

check this out greyteg. my vocabulary is larger than yours. and the only one trying to e-thug is u talkin ur online ****. i just want some good feedback. not your weak *** remarks. its funny how your gonna talk **** because of how im typing. ill type how i want to. go cry somewhere else if you dont like how i type u square ***.

 

Just give the shocks at least an inch of spring travel to do their job.

 

thnx ill try that.

what you want to know, Ed already pointed out before and again very nicely. It's also entirely possible that if you've been riding around like that that you could have blown the shocks.

I haven't been talkin ****. You need to get over yourself.

You asked for help and didn't appreciate any that was given to you. Both Ed and John gave you good advice, your loss. If you can't understand or want to try to understand what others are trying to help point out to you then maybe You should GTFO.

FYI before you want to keep going with this, the hoodie attitude really isn't impressing anyone and Noone will take you seriously if you keep it up.

Did you get an alignment yet?

 

look man. i apprecaite everybodys opinion. thats wut i asked for in the first place. and my "hoodie" attitude? u dont know me? lets just leave it at that arright? im not out to impress aynbody. just drop it right now. and it hasnt been aligned in a while.

 

ok well then reset the ride height and see if the bounce goes away or at least diminishes to your liking. If it's good, then get it corner weighted, then go get a good alignment.

 

You are from where??.....Ohhhhhhhh CA, this post makes pefect sense now!

I am going to e-maka suggestion to you, listen to the advice that has already been given to you. Your car is going to continue riding like **** if you don't raise it.

 

haha thnx...ya ima raise probly an inch then align it cuz i can do free alignments
