Rear suspension troubles

That's the thing though, I know it's not a lot of travel, but my car is not slammed. If I crank them up it's going to throw the rest of the suspension off since it will be higher, but I get what you mean.

I'm curious what others have for travel and what brand shocks?

I wasn't saying do it as a permanent change. Just to check. My rear springs are 475in/lbs IIRC. Granted I have an IRS, so that changes it a little. But your set up seems soft all around.

Well, I think I found out "why" these feel like this. I don't recall seeing this when I purchased these a few years ago. These state they do NOT lower your vehicle. So, even though my car isn't by any means super low, that's why the struts are stretched.

What a bummer, really don't feel like buying a proper rear coil kit, might as well swap back to my lowering springs and struts then.

If I hit a bump at speed, the rear feels like it's going through the earth lol. Sitting though and looking, it doesn't seem to be sitting on the stops. It's setup to cruise.

You're 100% hitting the bump stops, re-check your install work

You might have to switch to shorter stops


Edit: Oh you're running drag coils that aren't able to compress, it's the same issue but a different cause

Thanks, I'll have to give that a whirl. You really think bad bushings would cause such horrendous ride quality?

We suspect the bad bushings too in this incoming Cobra project. Time for a new set of tires so we ordered from 4Wheelonline and gonna replace the bushings at the same time.
