car feels bouncy

[s13driver]

my car feels so bouncy after i install D2 coilover last weekend. it wasn't like that before even when i was riding on blown shocks. any cause and fix for this ? :confused: :-/ i've set it to full hard before and now is 3 turns from soft.
please help me out guys/gals.

TIA

edit: my spring rate is 7/5

Shiite, mine are coming in 2 days. What spring rates did you get?

i think thats just what its gonna be like for you since those are the only spring rates offered by d2. what size tires are you running? that could affect it a bit

check the settings. when installing my tein he i accidently put the rears to full stiff while the fronts were at factory settings. it bounced like a son of a bitch.

when i first install them i had both F/R set to full stiff and it feels bouncy and now i had 3 turns from soft both F/R and it still feels bouncy.. what other setting should i try then !? :/

You don't want to make the dampners stiffer, you want to make them softer to absorb the bumps better.

too soft = cars riding on springs = BOUNCY stiffen the shocks. you just have to play withthe adjustment untill YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

if it's too bouncy you want to turn the dampening up. if it's still bouncy, then tHAT SUCKS~!!

[Dunkee]

It's not bouncy because the dampners are too soft. He's probably bouncing all over bumps & uneven roads cause of the new stiffer springs and dampner and not used to it. If you are bouncing too much while taking a smooth turn, make the dampner stiffer. BTW, the rear will still be a lil bouncy while turning hard until you put subframe spacers in.

thanks for all suggestions guys, i think i know the cause of it now. maybe Dunkee is right. i hardly feel any bounce while taking a turn or while i m going 50+ i only feel them when i m going around like 15~20 only. car feels like jumping up and down. so maybe i just set it 2 turns from soft and see what happens
:p

d2 offers 7/5, 8/6, 9/7. I got the 8/6's.

i just realised i was thinking of the spl coils, not the d2's, whoops!
