It is a problem that is true, but there is nothing wrong with the setup.



Mine isnt too bouncy or anything like that. Car hasnt had any problems like the ass end bouncing around like you asked. I am also pretty low. Its alot smoother than some cars i ride in with "better" sleeve coilovers on stock shocks too.

You might want to look into getting extended top hats. You can mod yours to give you more shock travel.

how to mod top hats????? i dont know of this yet. also my front end had hoped almot off the grond on the freeway. ther is a spot on one of them i take every day that is like hitting 5-6 soft dipps in the road. but going 70mph its like hiitting a few jumps and by the time i hit the last lil hump my car had picked up bouncy momentom and has gotten the front off the ground. i herad my tires bounce and screch. lol but i think my front is to low cause i think im actuallly just sitting on the bump stops :P
