I just had my 1994 Maxima installed new Intrax lowering springs & KYB shocks but the smoothness of the ride is very bad. Everytime it hits a pot hole of a bumb on the street, I can hear & fell a big & loud bang, as if my car was drop from the fifth floor.

I need help. How can I fix this problem?

thats just how its gonna be for a while. when i installed my tokikos and eibachs the ride was very stiff for about 4 months. it didnt make loud banging noises, but the ride was very very rough. any time you stiffen up the suspension like this the ride quality is going to go down a bit. the upside is the cornering capabilities and the way the car handles at high speeds.

yea ur never going to be able to hit bumps at the same speed as before. but this is the price we pay to go fast and handle better, i kinda like a sprty hop and i like to feel the road but i can see how some dont.
