Suspension help
Post by Prelude danny » Sat Sep 10, 2016 9:21 pm
I've bought lowering springs for my 4g, since I've put em on the car is very bouncy, handles horrible, been told its down to the shocks
What's the best shocks I can get that will be able to handle my lowering springs, thanks you

The shocks are in very poor conditionrrobis wrote:it depends.
what kind of springs have you purchased?
with a mild drop and any sophisticated brand spring you should not have such situation even with OEM shocks. considering your existing shocks aren't blown out.

I lowered mine 30mm on Eibachs with standard shocks and have been great

60mm will def need new shocks , I prob would have gone coilovers with that drop , I don't know what the best shocks would be I'm afraid.
Someone on here will know.
What make are the springs

Cheers
