ROUGH RIDE, Need Help!!!

[95blackGsTurbo]

Ever since i put my coilover springs on and got lowpro tires the ride in my car has become extremly rough. Everytime I go over a bump my dc player wants to skip and y car sounds like it bottoms out. I was wondering if I got new shocks if that would help out a lot of just a little.

Yeah, check and see if your shocks are blown. Are you sure you have the correct spring weight for your car?

stock struts will only last so long on aftermarket springs.

Right u are Boostineklipz. When i got my car it came with new Ground Control coilovers. My stock shocks blew out in no time. My ride quality went from bad to really sh!tty. It was bouncy as well as very, very, bumpy. I bought some Tokico Illumina shocks and away went the bounciness, but it was still very bumpy. i recommend buying high quality springs that will not lower your car too much and are known to still retain a good ride quality and also invest in some good shocks. I am planning on getting Eibach Pro-kit springs. Hopefully that will help me out. And i hope this info will help u out.

whenever you upgrade the suspension the ride quality will go to sh1t. you need to upgrade the shocks when you upgrade the springs. the job of the shock is to control the spring energy. stiffer springs with stock shocks will produce a very bouncy ride because the spring is too stiff for the shock. however when you upgrade any suspension the ride quality will go down as the performance goes up. I can feel every pebble and every bump but the car handles like it's on rails. so everything is a tradeoff. good luck.
