You can afford an expensive set of coilovers but can't spend 5 minutes online to learn how to tune them...

Of all the rebound you've been complaining about b/c you have no idea how to tune a set of coilovers, now you're going to make your tires super stiff w/ 38psi. Unless you're auto-x full-time or trying to make 40mpg or trying to kill yourself when it rains, turn down the psi to 28.

OK ez with the flaming. I did some homework just before I saw the this post and yea I am gonna dig in this weekend to tune them. Found out that preloading the coilovers too much will cause this and also bad alignments. About the tire pressure, that's just what I heard from friends when we were at drift event. It's a drift spec obviously. Anyways I will see if this bounce ness decreases.

What tire pressure you running right now? You should be at around 30 psi for daily driving, not more than 32. This will affect your bounciness. Also the alignment needs to be done first and foremost. There are a few basics that you should always address BEFORE you start pulling your suspension apart again.

1. Modify suspension = new alignment
2. check to ensure every bolt is tight and each part is mounted properly.
3. Make a list of the things you've modified from their designed spec (spring compression, tire pressure, wheel fitments, any suspension arm alteration)

Little story...for example on #2, I had an alignment done for a new control arm and tie rods, and the fucking shop didn't tighten one of my camber bolts in the front!! My front end was all over the road and I couldn't figure it out! then one day I was doing my brakes and I leaned on the strut and it moved! Whoa...I went back there and chewed them new a-holes.

Start with that and then see where you're at with the ride.
