i just slapped on a set of maxspeed coilovers on my tokico blue front struts. before the swap of coilovers my suspension was stiff as rock. After a few days of the maxspeed on my car now it's bouncy as hell. Can't tell if the struts are blown or just the coilovers just being bouncy???

 

Most likely the coilovers, the spring rates are probably too high. Seeing as theyre Maxspeed coilovers, im pretty sure thats the problem. That, or maybe you lowered it way too low...

 

even when it raised a lil, it was still bouncy after the few days, struts also sound like there bottoming out.

 

Did you cut your bump stops? They might be bottoming out on the bump stop.

 

Anytime you change your spring rates, you will need to make sure your shocks can provide the propper damping. If you up your sping rate and don't up your damping of the shocks, then it's going to be bouncy and handle like crap.

 

well i have the tokico blues not the illumina where i can change the dampening

 

with a different shock

 

you need to match your spring rate w/ your damping rate, otherwise like what was already stated it will handle like ****

 

ok i found i did have blown front struts. Does anybody have a set of front struts laying around they might want to sell.
