Is anyone bottoming out with their lowering springs? Like hitting a descently sized hole or bump and hearing a large "thump", knowing that your bump stop just took a beating!
I'm asking cause I got some tein s-tech installed on my 5th gen (suspension is the same I'd guess) and with stock replacement shocks its easy to bottom out. Is it something to live with with a 1.5" drop? Or its because my car is 300 lbs heavier than a 6th gen... The springs arent boucy, very stable, I love the ride... but as I said...bumps stops doesn't like 'em. lol This post has been edited by Rayme: Mar 15, 2006 - 5:23 PM --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

Are your replacment shocks brand new? Thats norm a sign of warn shocks. I have only bottomed out by hitting the ground, not my shocks bottoming out. Thats not good.
