New Suspension Setup Riding Rough

Wouldnt taking some air pressure out of your tires make them worn more easily? What sort of psi are we talking about here?

dan let the car settle a few weeks. i'm thinking that you jsut need time to breakin. you just didi all your bushing right?

when i first got my eibach springs, the ride was very stiff. little bumps made loud bangs when i went over them. it took a few thousand miles for the springs to break themselves in.

You might actually need to UP the firmness in your shocks... if you're underdamping your springs, you could be setting yourself up for more body movement and oscillation than your normal spring/shock setup, and that will make your car feel like shit. Most springs/shocks these days don't really need a "settling in" period.

well good news i finally finished putting my new energy suspension bushings in and new lower ball joints. what a major difference 200 bucks can make. Im very impressed.
