Is there anyone who can run through here and suggest a good tuning for the k's? Mine feels like I'm in a lowrider with stiff *** suspension, and when I'm driving on streets I'm bobbing up and down really fast, is this normal? I hope my struts arent blown

 

how low are u...what are ur pre-loads set at

 

if preload on the springs is set high you might also get that feeling. If your slammed you are probably overpowering the soft setting on the strut. Just my .02 hope it works out.

Coilovers are also super stiff in general soooooo if you are still riding on 16s with soft sideall tires there is a chance that you feel sidewall flex.

 

It's going to be bouncy if your axels are not straight.

 

u prolly have too much preload.

 

the preload isnt that much, just enough to keep the springs secure...are all u guys above riden on the k's?
Also, my settings are now almost towards the softest up front, medium in back.

 

I am. Check out the General Forum for the thread all about the Orange Hotness!

 

huh?

Check your blinker fluid lately?

 

Well for one of course it gonna be bouncy with the softest setting try setting them on 20 F 24 R

My settings on my D2s are 20 F 36 R

 

They will be bouncy at the softest setting. You have to have some dampening for them to ride well

 

I'm repeating what the guy at the alignment shop said to me. He took my car out for a testdrive and said the bouncyness is caused because the axles are on extreme angles.

 

I wouldnt take my car there again if i were you...........

 

at the track i set the dampening to full hard on all of my struts and i forgot to readjust them. to me, it actually feels SMOOTHER than before, LESS bumpy.
i love it, i hope it is not harder on the struts to drive them like this.
try it out though.

 

u might need to actually stiffen the dampening to smooth out the ride.....

 

They did a good job. I would go back there again.

 

I wouldnt take advice from him again then

 

so have you guys ben able to get a hr/illumina comfort out of the coilovers, or is that asking too much?


Sorry to be OT.

 

mine ride very good, as everyone eles said bump your dampining up. i am on 19's and the car ride better with s-tech/agx and 17's.. Just tightne everything and make sure pre-load it at a minumum

 

ok. thanks. i'll bump it up a bit.
