Any ideas guys? I think I'm just going to get some coilovers now because everytime I drive my car, all I do is pay attention to the bounce and it's so damn frustrating
Keeping it simple.....Springs support the cars weight, the shocks "dampen" the bouncing. If the car is bouncing (like a pogo stick) then the car is under dampened. If the car is riding rough, then the springs are to strong. So it sounds like the car is under dampened.
