Suspension Help

[ImSleepingOrAmI]

hey everyone im new to the site and need some help. ive had my 240 for about 3 months or so and now starting to work on it. i have a 1990 240 fastback and ive only lowered it but now i bounce all over the place, so im asking for some help on what shocks/struts i should buy or what all i should do to fix my problem.
thanks

lowered by cutting springs or by lowering springs,
just get kyg agx tokico or any aftermarket shocks/struts that's reputable that can handle more than factory springs...

[s0ldats]

blown shocks probably, unless you cut your springs too much and are riding on bump stops.

yeah i bought lowering springs,espelir springs. import shop recomended them.

[ImSleepingOrAmI]

oh and what is a good price for the shocks/struts. and whats the difference between replacing the shocks/struts or geting coilovers. besides adjusting the ride height. thanks for helping the newbie out guys

get some AGX's or at lease GR2's. That will fix your problem as long as the springs are good.

GR2s suck. I have them on stock springs and they didn't last long. Get KYB AGX or Koni's. Coilovers would be a big step up but they're more expensive. It just depends on what amount of money you have/want to work with.

There are a few links. I purposely linked some with coilover so you could look at some prices. There are many more places which you could buy from. Check out the GB section and the links section of this site. The reviews section has some good stuff too.

gr-2s are stock replacements. nothing special except a cool name

I never said they were anything special. I was commenting that they sucked even with stock springs, which they're supposed to be for. :down:

lowering your car will give you a 'bumpier' ride. period. you change your spring rates

im sorry. i meant that toward the poster that suggested the gr-2s, but quoted you for emphasis.

misinterpretation :bigok:

[kandyflip445]

And I was reinforcing that they sucked. See how much they suck? lol
