Yeah, I was at 16 at the time. Today, I dialed them all the way down to 1 (most firm) and the rocking went away somewhat, but it's still there. I just want to know if it's normal and I should stop being paranoid.:ugh::confused:

It might be normal for Megan to rock back and forth but coilovers shouldn't do that.

Does anyone else with coilovers wanna chime in?

I have coilovers and mine don't rock back and forth. Mine has 30 levels of firmness and I set mine 10 from hard.

I do get rubbing up front on occasion over high speed dips and bridges.
may roll fenders a bit...undecided!

Usually if the coilovers are set to full stiff and there is no give so you get that sensation...generally means they need turning down. Try that and see...

I'll let you know! I still can go lower so yes!!

I changed the setting to a softer one (24) and the issue has essentially been resolved.

Glad turning down the stiffness worked! :tup:

coilovers are installed! First impressions are excellent:tup: I have the dampening turned full soft and it seems to ride very comparably to stock as far as firmness/harshness goes. To be honest, first impression of these 'budget' coilovers are more favorable than my Tein Flex coilovers that I had on my Z33. I'll do a full writeup after a week or two of driving so I can give a more thorough review. Stay tuned...
