So I'm driving along with a passenger in the car and boy my car seems to bottom out a few times...real hard LA Hwy suck...
What can I do to help this from happening, Is it shocks? I don't think my car is that low...  |

I'd stay with stock spring rates and go with better shock control. If you go with the nonadjustable Bilsteins, you can adjust the rear ride height with a snap ring (that supports the spring perch) that fits into one of three grooves in the shock body.
Bilsteins have nice high-speed damping suppleness that helps to filter out pavement cracks, tar strips, etc. Even the Koni yellows set to full soft are pretty nice street shocks. That's what I have on my car and they feel cushy (everything's relative; my DD is a race-prepped NC Miata!). How's my old engine? Have you put it in a car yet? --Doug |
