kicking out when driving down a bumpy road after having installed new springs? It feels like im gonna vibrate right off the road! Almost feels as if i hit somthing slick and my back end starts to wander. High speeds is horrible right now. Have an apt. to get it looked at(at no cost to me) but some ideas would be helpful. Anyone else experience the same thing?

Did you change the shocks to aftermarket ones? If not, then that may be it. The stock shocks can't handle aftermarket springs very well. Good Luck!

The guy who installed the springs........

said that i should be good as well as my struts because they weren't bad. I just caught a glimpse of another post though talking about struts and how stock can't handle the stiff ride.....i guess the next move would be to get shocks and struts then huh?

Re: The guy who installed the springs........

Ya, I almost got the springs on my stock struts, but after ALOTTA research, I decided to go ahead and get some Tokicos too. I think the addition of some stiffer shocks/struts will make your ride much better...although, I've heard Intrax isn't the smoothest spring when it comes to ride quality anyway. Just my .02.

yea i know i have seen the same thing on this site....popular thing is the h&r's with tokico's but sometimes i wonder ya know.....for example i also see alot of stillen pop chargers and jwt but locals at performance shops laugh when i ask if they carry them.."why would you pay top dollar for a product that dyno's the same results?"I guess thats there .02.....but i have a feeling the ride(although not the smoothest with intrax)wouldn't cause the car to loose traction...i'll bet it is the shocks and struts and not the springs, its downright scary at high speeds!
