Bouncy Ride

Been about year now.. notice that my car this summer is really getting bouncy.. I have Ground Controls.. Coils.. and I am starting to hate the bouncy azz ride. I miss the smoothnest.... when I 1st had the car without any aftermarket springs. I notice that the drop with the stock tires are bouncier. When I put my 18's on its still bouncy but not as much as stock wheels.

actually, if your shocks are going out...you'll hear your shocks squeek each time you go over a bump. if its bouncy, most likely its just your eibachs that come with the gc's... oh and by the way...HI ACURATLGURL! its me TLontheDL

What kind of struts (shocks) do you have your ground controls mounted on?

TL Baller hey there.. no they dont squeek. just bouncy.

TL12 I dont have aftermarket shocks. just stock shocks. that came with the car.. just wrapped them with the gc..

962.5tl.. if you are going to get the gc. I STRESS that you do get the shocks. you wouldnt like the ride.. if you still like the smoothnest. it is WAY TO BOUNCY.. NOT as bouncy as them civic's when you head hits the top.. haha
