The more street miles I put on the car, the more I've come to realize this is the truth. I've got three autoX events on this spring/shock combination and the handling is great, car is well planted, the grip is tremendous and it transitions well thru slaloms. But I am begining to not like them on the street. Fortunately, she is not a daily driver, but I am starting to hate railroad crossings and large freeway expansion joints. The front handles everything great but the rear really bounces and if I didn't wear my seat belt, my head would hit the roof!The Konis are a little harsh. They handle amazing but are somewhat crashy. The Ford Racing soaks up imperfections better and still is very responsive. I'd say for a car that sees less street time than track time, the Koni are awesome. For the opposite, the FRPP are the ones to have. They just match to the springs so well
I have both F&R Koni's at 1.5 turns. Should I soften the rears? Do I need to trim my bump stops a little more (I followed BMR's directions).
I also reclocked the bushings by using a transmission jack (car was on a lift). I compressed the spring with the jack until weight of the car was slightly off the lift, then tightened all the bushings. Did I do this incorrectly??
Any other suggestions?? New struts/shocks are pretty much off the table. Mods are in signature below.
