Car feels looser after lowering

[Popo5ohh]

So i have steeda springs on my car. It handles better however it feels worse. I know theres difference in ride quality when lowered. But if i hit a bump it feels like it throws the car. Car also feels kinda floaty and not connected. Is it the base gt shocks? What do i need to change? Alignment is on also.

Did you trim your bump stops. How many miles?

Yes, please let us know some of the answers above ... you shouldn't have ride issues if installed properly.

Best Regards,

Im not sure about the bump stops. I had my buddy install them at his shop. They are the older version of the linesr steeda springs i believe. The ones everyone is using the spring spacer on

You need to first find out what springs were installed so we can know how much your dropped. If he cut the bump stops. I have eibach sport lines. My ride car rides fine I recently did steeds struts and shocks and installed their bump stops. I also did the front extended ball joints. The car handles incredibly.

I have this problem too. I have steeda progressive lowering springs. When I go over a bump it seems like the steering wheel turns left or right. And the inside of my tires are wearing unevenly. Even tho it’s alogned to factory specs. The weird part is it seemed to drive fine for about 2 years and I’ve had this problem for the last year. Not sure what it is.
