Got Skunk 2 Coilovers, Cars Bouncy as Hell Though, Plz Help
Hello, I've had Skunk 2 Coilovers on my car for about a month now. The did wonders for my handling but now my car is extremely bouncy. I don't bottom out though. I would just like to know if anything can be done to decrease the bounciness and will the bounciness mess up my car? FYI All of my other suspension parts are stock with 202K on them, just thought I'd throw that in. Thanx again all :frog:

1. Your shocks are blown
2. You have your coilovers on backwards(front is in rear visa versa) 3. Spring rate for coilovers are too stiff for your car(prolly coilovers made for a 92+ civic or integra) 4. Coilovers are set too low coulda be any of these...and have a nice day :flash:

id say shocks too, if they bounce more than 3 times after the intial hit, then they are gone, pick up some KYB or KONI shocks.

WWW.NOPIONLINE.COM get kyb gr-2 gas shocks from them, and install them yourself, you have to stop paying for people to do your car work, then you can buy more stuff =].

hey look what i just bought off Ebay for $24.00! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RECO:US:2#BID1 Ive had the same problem on my car being kinda bouncy, my Tokicos are blown cause i have a drastic drop of 3" on my car, Maybe you should wait til this dude on Ebay sells another pair of struts and you can save lots of money.

Is there anyway to cut down the bouncing with it real low? My front bounces a little but not the back... I would rather not raise up my car if i dont have to
 . Btw, I have have like 2 month old Tokicos Blue and some Weapon R coilovers

My guess would be that your shocks are the problem. I have had friends with Skunk2's on their Civics and one was very bouncy. The other one was fine. Now, the car that was bouncy was riding on stock shocks, and the other that wasn't bouncy was riding on Tokico blues.

Not too smart! You did a half assed job! If you wanted to do your suspension you needed to replace your struts, shocks, and springs. Not just one or the other! ALL! My suspension is going to cost $680! Tokico shocks and struts, progressive (or neuspeed springs) If you are worried about how the way your car is going to handle and look, do it right. Rushing in without research is never good! Save your money and do it right the first time, it will cost you more in the end if you do cheap work with cheap parts. Not to say that ground control is cheap
. Keep your coilovers they sound fine but replace your struts and shocks! You are lucky you didn't completly mess up your suspension! GOOD LUCK!
