okay i ordered some kts coilovers from spl parts along with
circuit sport suspension arm package
Front Tension Rods
*Rear Upper Control Arms
*Rear Traction Links
*Rear Toe Links
just got done installing that and tien toe rods for the front... and sub frame collars...

took it out for a spin and the car is extremely bumpy... i know the alignment is off... but that shouldn't have anything to do with bumpyness of the coilovers should it?.. the only thing i can think of is the older tires i have on it... the car sat there for a while... but i'm getting new tires tom... just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this...

the coilovers are brand new... and so is all the other stuff...

any places to start looking for issues? thanks

adjust the dampening to soften it out if its too stiff for you...

if you got dampening adjustable coilovers loosen them up a bit. But yes coilovers usually are bumpy.
