- Thu Oct 29, 2015 3:37 am #357288 I just bought my first eg Hatch. It has Black Works Racing Coil Overs. The ride height is set really low, but it's super bouncy. It looks like you can adjust the height separately from the spring load. If i loosen off of the spring will it make it less bouncy?

- Thu Oct 29, 2015 1:54 pm #357376 The car has probably been lowered so much that the shocks on the coilover's are no longer helping the system. First thing is to raise the car and re-adjust your preload on the springs to a stock height and drive for results. If test concludes no bounce, then you can start to lower the car. If test result still with bounce, you may have bad shocks in the coilover setup.
Can you post some pic's
Thanks

- Thu Oct 29, 2015 1:56 pm #357377 Super bouncy could be due to blown or leaking shocks. The preload could have also been set incorrectly by the previous owner. Best bet is to check with the manufacturer for proper preload settings for your car, and then double check the setting.
