I had those exact same coilovers on my car, and I could not stand the bounciness. On my struts it was so bouncy that it was dangerous, and I would bottom out all the time, but maybe it was just my old stock struts that were causing it.
I know Jared has the same coilovers and he likes them more than his Weapon-Rs, so maybe I just had bad, dying struts. ![]() By the way, your car looks awesome with that drop. When do you plan to get the rest of the kit? -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Ha ha ha, bet you never thought about your driveway when you were putting them on.
![]() Glad to see you got them on finally, sorry i wasn't much help. So were the fronts or backs harder to put on? -Joel |

I say go ahead and get the side skirts.
Whenever you need to leave you can always jack your coilovers up and go down your driveway, then lower them once you hit the street and viceaversa. |

Sometimes I wonder....if a car is super dropped that has a flat tire on the side of the highway, how the hell do they jack their car up and replace the spare? There is no way you can fit your hands throught the fenders to adjust the height and there is no way it can climb up a stub to get that extra height below! Can someone explain this to me?

I think that's when you call road-side assistance and make them do it, or invest in a really thin jack that can fit under your car!

Do you have some coilovers? Cause if you did you would know that there is more involoved that just raising and lowering the coilovers. It is almost imposible to get up in the wheel well when it is lowered. Also you need to jack the car up to take the weight off of the coilovers so that you can adjust them. Next time dude when you make a coment make sure you knwo what your talking about. Forkee Looks good. I know your troubles with the coilovers. I got the same ones that you got. Im thinking of going to some springs because of the sever bounce that they have and I want to work on teh supsension next. Bryan |

So now this site has bad info? Please tell us where you heard that it's incredibly easy to change the ride height of coilovers. And please watch your mouth when you're posting on the forums. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

This used to happen to me when I had the coilovers, and apparently it happened to John with his Ground Controls as well initially. John put some grease on his though, and he said it fixed the problem. Though he has Ground Controls, I'd imagine that putting grease on there would have the same effect and would probably get rid of a lot of the noises. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I agree with Coomer. By the way, everyone, he (Neipas) is getting a filter installed between his brain and mouth next week. So, you know.
