Does anyone here have any problems with their suspension bottoming out when your cornering really hard with a lowered car??

How low is your car? What springs/ shocks did you install? What Rims and Tires?

 

Need to get better shocks if your bottoming out.

 

APEX Sport Springs(they said its suppoed to have a better ride than the eibachs, but maybe there just bsing me because they are a apex dealer? Are all springs the same? what effect does brand/drop/spring rate, etc have on handling??) and, Koni Yellow(adjustable)shocks.
They shop said that the apex springs are supposed to lower 1.25...I checked the website www.apexsprings.com and they said my application is a 1.8 drop and they said for the perches on the shocks, they used the lower perch for the front, middle perch for the back. It looks alot lower than 1.5 i think!!

oh yes, its the stock 98 2.3CL rims(split 5 star) with 205/55/16 michelin pilot sport tires. On the highway and stuff, when theres a inperfection in the road, it gets scary! I also tried adjusting the shocks to a turn and a half on all sides, seems to help a little compared to full soft but still the bottoming out and what seems to be a scraping kinda sound still happens.

well.... no insults intended... but it could be how you drive... at a slight drop and with tire roll.. of course you'll touch gropund... ease up on your cornering till you tighten up your suspension and get better rubbers!!!!

 

Do you know if your bumpstops were cut when the new springs were put in? I just have the Eibach Pro-Kit and it said to cut about 3/4" off of it.

 

I'm not too sure I have to check with the speed shop...
