I'm confused, not sure if it is my fault or the parts are deffective. I have a 6 gen, 4cyl coupe. A month ago I dropped it with H&R Race and stock struts. Ride was pretty bouncy. So earlier today I installed neuspeed edition Koni's.
The ride was the same if not worce than just having stock strut. I tried the softest and the stiffest settings the ride is still hella bouncy. The fronts I have on the lowest perch, and the rears on the middle perch. What can it be? And I still haven't gotten an allignment yet. Desperate for help!!!

 

is not the shock is the springs that makes that happen, H&R race thats for sure is going to b bouncy etc... the pro ones are less bouncy and stiff.

 

people want to take away 2.25" of suspension travel and still maintain that "stock-like" feel. *shakes head* the race springs will be stiff regardless of what shocks you put on.

the question comes down to whether you like just 1-2 bounces (when you go over bumps), or would you prefer to bounce endlessly "bopping for apples".

if the ride's getting too rough, then it's time to raise the car back up and give your car some more room for suspension travel.

 

i had the same problem with my ground controls on stock shocks...i rode that way for 2 days and ordered illumina's...best thing i ever did. I like a stiff ride because i like to take corners like a crazy man...

 

I am going to have to agree. The koni's won't make the car ride smoother...it will make the car better dampened. You'll still feel the bumps, you just won't be bouncing after hitting them.

If it's still too hard for you...Get some sport springs or try some coilovers or something. You can't expect great ride quality when you are slammed like that.

 

eibach sportlines have great ride yet still drop low. They are pricey but well worth it. Ride is awesome.

 

I had the same issue when I was running Neuspeed Race springs and Koni Neuspeed edition shocks. I ended up trading out my springs for Ground control Coils. A lot better ride.
