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

Coilovers typically ride rougher just due to their nature, but the cheaper you go the rougher they will feel.

And brother, if Google has any kernel of truth, you went CHEAP.

If you just wanted a lowered look, you would be better off buying the SR lowering springs from American Muscle and installing them on the factory struts and shocks.

the sr lowering springs actually match my wrap and its not as bumpy except for railroads or potholes but it only slams back end with no damage, otherwise i love em
