Default ef suspension help?

i just bought an 91 hatch dx a week ago and lowered it on adjustable springs.


the ride isnt really that bad for how low it is. it does bounce quite a bit. is there a way that i can lower the amount of bounce without making it higher?

you can try to cut the bump stops in half, it wont help too much but give the struts like a 1/4inch more travel. what kind of set up you using? i have stock struts w/ ebay coils and it rides like chet.

im using stock struts too with mimo or memo adjustable springs that my frined got online somewhere for his m3 but i guess they sent him the wrong ones cause they diddnt fit his bmw but we tried on my and it fit good. its just the rear adjustable isnt on... it diddnt fit on the strut.

might try getting some new aftermarket struts. if they're from a bmw then they probably have different spring rate as to why it would bounce so much.

Buy decent quality materials, or stop complaining.
