Pedders Xa coilovers riding rough

[BarberStang]

Alright so I installed my coilovers and left the rear as is no adjustments besides 15 clicks on the dampening and dropped the front down to just covering tire on my fender and 15 clicks dampening. It rides great on small bumps, but when I hit a small pothole it feels so rough. Did I miss something? Anyone else having this issue?

That is pretty much the way they all are. What is your preload set to

Kill me, but preload?

Kill me, but preload?

how much space you compressed the spring from slack before you mounted it on the car and then adjusted for desired sag. Harshness on bumps is generally one of 2 things:
1. hitting bump stops because not enough shock travel
2. just hideous highspeed compression damping
2b. spring rates so high the shock can't really move and is essentially 'rigid'.

You got coilovers, relatively cheap ones at that too. What did you expect a plush ride over big bumps?

Kinda how it is in the performance suspension game.
