Stance coilovers on s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Chue240sx · 06-29-2008, 09:40 PM

So my stance coilovers just came in and after installing them, the ride is really stiff as expected. But the problem is that when i'm crusing on a smooth road, the car bounces up and down? When accelerating though I can't really feel the car bounce? The coilovers is touching the rear upper arm. I have an aftermarket one where it is a curve only and the coilover adjustment touches it. Would that be the problem or what could the other problem be? Before I had the kyb and teins and the car was not like that. Any suggestion would help. So, kind of confusing.

GR+ or GR+pro with the helper spring? A pic of the coilover hitting the RUCA would be totally wicked awesome also.

bouncing = assuming shocks are okay, your options are 1) either live with it 2) or increase shock stiffness till the bouncing stops or is tolerable

edit: or swap to lower spring rate

the problem is that the car is bouncing at times when it is not suppose to. LIke on smooth roads, it would bounce consistently.

I had that same problem when I had Tokico's and KYB suspension, I don't if it will help you but I changed a few bushings and used air tools to tighten the centel bolt on the strut mounts, that seem to have gotten rid of the unneccesary bouncing. However, the cause could differ, my suggestion is to just check everything and the good old trial and error.

You install the rears with the horn facing in or out on the spindle.?
