Please excuse my terminology, I really don't know the right term to explain the problems, but hopefully you guys will know what I mean. I'm running on Konis yellow and ground control the spring rate is 350 front 360 back? front has 2 top hats. The car is some what dumped. The car rides a bit bouncy when i have it a bit toward the stiff side, but that isn't really what concerns me, just that when the car drive through a pot hole it would go "BAM" like I"m bottoming out.

Those of you who've played around enough with your shocks settings might be able to help me, its really frustrating and this is on an 96 Integra coupe

 

If your car is dumped you most likely need stiffer rates. I would also double check your bump stops and make sure they are trimmed short enough.

 

I'll double check the bump stop

 

yea you're right I forgot to trim the front bump stops in half maybe thats the reason for the sounds

 

A hard "bam" may be hitting the bump stop as suggested, and half the bump stop may still hit, with less padding. Higher spring rate or raise the car a little.

 

yea i'll try fixing the bump stop problem, but I like it being slammed if I have to deal wit the "BAM" I guess I'll just have to deal wit it.

 

get stiffer springs or raise the car to a non cholo ride height. something like 550/500 would help you out quite a bit if you actually like driving a spark tosser

 

stiffer springs! dont cut your bumpstops if you dont know how to or where to. If you cut too much off you can ruin the dampers by bottoming them out.

 

yeah tell that to your header and oil pan Fool LOL

 

Are you sure it isn't the uca's hittng the shock towers?

 

Visiting HT makes one learn someting new every time

 

 

My header n oil pan isnt hittin anything, not a single scratch on it...

 

cut dem bump stops dood, also usually you have stiffer rates in the front than in the back.
