#822, "Bouncing coilovers"




          

After deciding I'm not low enough I want to same my ride with some coilovers but my friends who have coilovers on thier eclipses bounce like hell. Does anyone know of a good set that won't ride like $h!t??? Also houw about those new Weapon R with the dual spring they look they would ride okay. Any info would help.

Your gonna bouce with no travel. The only way around it is coilovers with shortened struts if your gonna go real low. Weapon-r just keep tension on the springs when decompressed, even arospeed sells helper springs for their coil-overs. Helper springs wont be getting much worked slammed to the ground.

well i got the perches at the bottom of the collar (3 and a quarter inches, aka slammed) and mine bounces less now that it did with the progress springs (which bounced none at all) and im still on the OEM shocks, so i guess it depends on which spring the CO manufacturer uses. but if you get the maxspeeds they wont bounce. (mine did bounce on the first bump i hit, but when i hit it on the way home and every bump since then, no bounce)

Wll I need to get what you got cause I still got a little bounce with AGX and not that low ST springs. Our rear suspension isn't prone to bouncing but the front usually is the culprit.
