coilovers sucks!
ive been driving with this coilover with a 2 inch drop for a while now and u feel everything on the streets, i mean u just dont feel it but u bounce like ten feet up in the air. i almost throw up after eating a heavy meal riding or i should say bouncing ready got me sick. going to swich over to dropzone springs that drops about 2 1/2 inches.

For one, Maybe that goes to show you your drop is too much? Raise it.
Two, perhaps you have them set to stiff.
I have had TEIN coil-overs for several years and I can have them ride BETTER THAN STOCK... or stiff as a track vehicle.

Yeah, Soopa's right...you should probably change your shocks when getting coilovers. If you just had springs, then the ride probably wouldnt be as rough.

uh....only semi off topic....but scoopa really has over 125,000 posts. good God man! but on the ride....i would switch to ones that you can adjust if you can afford it. 2 1/2 inches is a huge drop.

Or use like the Eibach prokit. It only drops it like 1.2 inches, and you can use your stock shocks. I dont have them myself, so I cant tell you what kind of ride it has.

I won't be doing the motor swap myself, as it's just too damned cold here and I don't have a garage, but I will be around the shop while it is being done, and will definately be taking pics!!! As for the springs, if I wait until the late spring to install them, which I just might, then yes I will be installing them myself and I will do a DIY. I just acan't wait to get home and SEE that I actually finally have them! Been getting dissed for TOO long about having a 4X4!!! lol
