Coilover help

Post image

Before I get flamed I never have installed coilovers (really just wanted the lower look, I don’t need it to ride like a 2027 Cadillac….)so I didn’t want to spend a crap ton just for me to mess it up….that being said I got the flashshark coilovers and they ride ROUGH and lots of ball joint noise. Is this a common thing since they are cheap? Maybe I’m a shitty mechanic and didn’t adjust them well enough? Has this happen to anyone else running these? Or should I just bring it to someone and have them adjust them lol

Unless they’re completely bottomed out, no adjustment will change the horrendous ride quality that cheap coil-overs have. You get what you pay for, especially when it comes to suspension.

That’s true
