Default New Shock and Springs now Bouncy

Hi,

We just installed a new set of Illuminas and H&R Sport for the 95 Accord and its way too bouncy.

Is it because there are new and need of drive in or in need of Allignment?

Right now I have not done any allignment yet, we just finish the car and I test drive it and its bouncy.

I set the settings on all 4 shocks to the stiffest which is 5 and the car is bouncy even on flat roads.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

i thought being bouncy even on "seemingly" flat roads is normal oO

im on koni yellow + eibach prokit, and i just recently set my koni to complete firm and it bounces every so often

they sqeek like hell too

i made them 100% soft and now they "seem" to squeek less, will have to driveo ver course of few days

thats all i can come up with w/o inspection =\

well thats a major issue, you need to cut the bump stops in half.

also is it bouncy or stiff? there is a major difference...
