h&r coilovers

Post by harry »

Hi had my car lowered last week on h&r coilovers, pictures to follow once i figure out how to add them on, car looks and handles awsome but not sure about the ride as it seems bouncy? it's not harsh, anything i can do to make it less bouncy or would bigger wheels help?

Bouncy as in the car is moving up and down after a bump for longer than you want it to? If so, the dampers could be stiffer.

Bigger wheels will make it worse in any case, so don't go that route. Did you get the adjustable coilovers?

I should rephrase my question; is the hardness adjustable? If so, you can (have them) set to a harder setting. Sorry for being unclear...

(Did you see my PM?)

the coilovers are height adjustable, i spoke to awsome where they were fitted and queried if the ride height was raised would it be less bouncy they advised yes, not sure if i want to raise it just yet as it does look really good when i get the 16's i'll raise it a tad..got your message re pics thanx still can't upload them can i email them to you?

You can mail me if you're having trouble using Imagestation. Did you succeed in making a new account? I can upload the pics to my account if it's giving you grief.

try adleeuw@xs4all.nl if all else fails

:wink:
