First off, I have tokico Illuminas with H&R springs. Why is it that all the bumps I go over, instead of just feeling them on your wheels I feel like the whole car shake or the whole car like feels the bump. Whats weird is yesterday after I had my tire changed because my old one was ripping, for a short while after they put in the tire, i felt the bumps more comfortably as if I only felt them under the car, isnt that how its supposed to feel? could it be possible that I have something sticking to the caliper or rotor and after they put the wheel back on it was fine until it started sticking again and that is why I feel all the bumps like that? can someone relate to or explain a little maybe. thanks

 

What setting are your Illuminas on? They might be set at a harsh setting, so, check them and check back to report the difference.

 

3 front, 2 rear

 

im right tho right? thats abnormal to feel the bumps IN your car right? just how my dash rattles and everything shakes as if im riding on a suspension as stiff as my ****... rnt u only supposed to feel the bumps below you?

 

Try 1 all around and see if it improves.

 

but wouldnt that be very wobbly or boaty like stock?

 

BTW, where exactly are the illuminas in the trunk to tune them? I never bothered to look lol and all that carpet in disguise covers everything. where exactly is it?

 

yeah well if u go to setting '1' on the struts and the whole car feels like you hit a speed bump going 50 when u go over a pebble then u kno u got a problem... so basically something to diag. ,.. also. . .

did you cut/trim the bump stops??

 

Try and use Free Search, it will help answer a lot of your questions.

 

na, TJMAX installed them and i didnt see him do that, what does bottoming out feel like, or in other words what does I NEED TO CUT MY BUMP STOPS feel like when you go over a bump?

 

It feels like 'bottoming out'.

When the suspension has no more travel in it, and hit's a 'flat spot'. Another one of those things where you 'just' know.

 

what EXACTLY though does it feel/sound like? Does it make any type of sound? what does it feel similar to? for instance, any type of bump that is HIGHER than the road like a mini speedbump it feels like it just runs right through it and makes a loud noise as if it feels to stiff to absorb the bump and the car jumps.. what exactly does bottoming out feel/sound like?

 

sometimes i feel as if wen going to fast the suspension doesnt respond as well and makes noises when going over bumps and acts as if its REALLLLLLLY stiff, to stiff to even absorb a bump

 

get sub frame connectors

 

is that a piece that comes and is broken your saying, or is this a mod becuz ive never heard of it.. whats the benefit of them?

 

H&R's are a pretty stiff spring to begin with! IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE HARSH RIDE OF A LOWERED SUSPENSION, YOU MAY WANT TO SWITCH BACK TO STOCK! Oh, and bottoming out feels like you just got kicked in the azz by someone wearing steel toe boots! As far as sounds, BANG! Good luck, but with your roads in NY, you may just have to learn how to deal with it!

 

o, so all this is just from being on such a stiff and low spring? i bought H&R because I heard it had one of the most comfortable rides, so r stiff and lowered cars supposed to sorta jump over bumps that are ABOVE the road sorta like tiny looking speedbumps..

 

so your saying when you bottoming out you hear a LOUD BANG NOISE? because when i spoke to someone from tokico they said you dont hear any noise you just feel it

 

maybe you installed the springs wrong. did you recently just install them if you did you need to let them settle.

 

OK OK OK! It's a silent BANG!

All this has been discussed before... here:

Looks familiar doesn't it?

 

TJMAX from nycmaxes installed them, he knows what hes doing, and i installed them over 3 months ago so they definitely settled by now

 

WHY?
Why does this guy have a problem with every aspect of his car.

WHY?
Why does he start new threads with total disregard for the searching so many of us slap upon newbies?

WHY?
Why aren't his many useless threads locked?

 

i bet if we googled dmpresso his worthless stupid threads will come up.
