could the reason my car is so bouncy be that it sits on the bump stops while on the ground? btw im runnin egay coilover sleeves on stock struts i know :thumbdown: but im just wondering if removing or modifing the bump stops will make it less bouncy

it could help you. I have the same setup on my daily hatch and I dont have the bump stops at all.

your problem is that your running ebay parts. on stock shocks. both a shitty combo. go buy aftermarket lowering springs/ with new shock or full coilovers if u can afford it

It is a problem that is true, but there is nothing wrong with the setup.



Mine isnt too bouncy or anything like that. Car hasnt had any problems like the ass end bouncing around like you asked. I am also pretty low. Its alot smoother than some cars i ride in with "better" sleeve coilovers on stock shocks too.

You might want to look into getting extended top hats. You can mod yours to give you more shock travel.

how to mod top hats????? i dont know of this yet. also my front end had hoped almot off the grond on the freeway. ther is a spot on one of them i take every day that is like hitting 5-6 soft dipps in the road. but going 70mph its like hiitting a few jumps and by the time i hit the last lil hump my car had picked up bouncy momentom and has gotten the front off the ground. i herad my tires bounce and screch. lol but i think my front is to low cause i think im actuallly just sitting on the bump stops :P
