got coilovers/lowered - CAN'T STAND BOUNCINESS

[peanotation]

well, i got coilovers off ebay, and the ride is super low and handles like a dream. but its bouncy as shit. i'm assuming i need shocks (i'm not a suspension guy). does anyone know where i can get them for good prices, and what kind i should go with? thanks.

get some KYB AGX struts and set it to bout 2 and u'll have a stiffer ride

Yup That's the only way I can see to compensate for "Ebay" coils.

Coilovers = trash.

Sell the coilovers and get springs!

Even aftermarket struts won't help the coils.

gr-2's are also very nice

[HiperSilver]

coilovers do equal shit


i have skunk2 and agx and i could stand it..got eibach prokit now and i love it

but with coilovers i thuink the eclipse coilovers gave me the shtity ride because of different spring/load ratings

Agreed.

Nah man, those ebay coils will blow GR-2's in a matter of months in all likelyhood.

[phizz2k]

when you say ebay coilovers...are those the dropzone, slamcoilovers, or springtech coils that are selling on ebay??

[2True]

Yeah all 3.

How low are you guys setting the height when you have your coil-overs? The lower you go...you will have a bouncy ride, its just a factor you have to sacrifice. The guys running Eibach Pro Kits, Sprint, etc lowering springs lower the car, but enough where there is wheel travel, thus....a more less "bouncy ride". Since the wheel has room to travel, the spring and strut/shock can absorb most of the energy. I have had the Eibach Pro Kit with KYB GR-2, and the ride was much comfortable, but then again, I had some wheel travel.Yes....quality of the spring is another factor, but most people with coil-overs that complain about a bouncy ride is because the height setting is probably so low (Why most people buy coil-overs, because the lower the car much more than lowering springs), the wheel has really not room to travel thus....your bouncy ride. Plain and simple....the more you lower you car, the more you sacrifice your ride quality.

well, i would have taken your path, but my budget recently went to shit, so now i'm trying to scrape by and just get the bounciness out for now.

I admit I was getting what I asked for when I had my car slammed, but that was expected...

It was after I raised the coils all the way up and still got the shitty/bouncy ride.

I'm gonna go with the Eibachs once I get my hands on some cash.

On a side note though... coilovers do have their benefits, adjustable ride height is definitely a big plus if you're a show-goer.

I don't know why you guys say coil overs are shit but I have the ground control with eibach springs and kyb struts and its dropped about 2 inches all around and the ride is mint. I am taking turns at speeds I never new possible. Freaking awesome. I was shocked at the difference it made. as for bumps. no problems here, even with the 8teens. Must be the michelins

totally agree, even without my struts and my bouncy-ass rice-like ride, i'm still take out boxsters on some turns out in the mountains, between the strut and sway bars and the car being 4 inches lower, its insane.

You must remember that the 7g Galant uses same/similar suspension geometry to that of the 2g Eclipse. People who own a 2g Eclipse will tell you that you cannot really lower them much at all before really sacrificing ride quality (no to mention handling performance) The strut rod is just too long. Now if you could find a company to specially make you a set of struts with shorter rods or even have an existing set disected and rebuilt with shorter rods you could have your low ride and stand it too. I think Koni struts can be shortened for better lowered ride. and your super expensive suspension systems (JIC or TIEN) also do a shorter rod length. Though, the Eibach Prokit + KYB struts (either GR-2 or AGX) is known to give a good ride while still lowering the car a bit. It's also a good value (my Pro kit was $170 and my GR-2's were $55 each)

bla i had coilovers they blow, i lowered 1" and i was flyin in the air on every lil bump, with agx set on 6. said fuck it and pulledem off n cut my stock springs....nice n smoooooth now =D

[bronxbombr]

Yo Jip u are crazy as hell dude......but i like ya style 8)

[Blue Ice]

<span style='color:blue'>so i'm hearing you guys say to go with eibach Pro kit, and G2's or Agx's. I was just wondering are any of these height adjustable to compensate for winter. Also what would be the cheapest place, ebay?</span>

[seth98esT]

if ur worried about height, dont get the eibach sport lines. they lower it too much, but the pro kit gives a nice drop that could be suffice for winter...
