Suspension help

HappySavage · 08-21-2005, 10:09 AM

I installed the eibach prokit 1.5" lowering springs, sensa track shocks and struts, and new sway arm bushings. i dont know if this is normal for a lowered car but the front end bottoms out all the time. the car doesnt hit the ground its more like the struts just cant be compressed anymore. like my springs arnt stiff enough or something. all you hear is BOOM every time i go over a small dip in the road or over a bridge with one of those metal grates for the boats. but just in the front end. i didnt replace the spring rubber mounts when i did the springs. i wonder if i can find thicker mounts. or is it something diff?
anyone out their got the same kit? does your front end smack all the time?

I have the same issue with my Eibachs so I will be getting the Bullitt springs since I dont want to mess up my headers.
