Hey guys I will attempt to ask this question the best way that I can so here it goes. I started out with a non-sport suspension and I invested in Eibach sport springs and enjoyed the ride. I new that the stock struts would eventually go out and I invested in Stasis Street Coilovers. I told the performance shop I was worried about the harsh ride so I think they tried to loosen the ride slightly but to me they (bare with me here) feel bouncy even too bouncy at times yet have a very harsh uncomfortable ride to it. I have been putting up with it but I really can't stand it anymore. I don't track the car at all, I just wanted a set up to last. Does anybody with coilovers experience this problem or should I take them somewhere so that they can really dial them in. I am thinking of going back to lowering springs and just buying good struts so I can get my lowered yet comfortable ride back. Furthermore anyone in Illinois know a good performance shop do dial them in I got them at GRD Racing in Villa Park. What should I do?

I think they messed up your street sports as everyone who has them has not had that complaint. They may have messed with the dampers..which is what your not supposed to do. STaSIS sets the dampers so the ride is exactly the opposite of what your feeling.

1, did they cut the bumpstops? 2, looks like the springs really killed off your shocks fast! 3, they screwed up the install. 4, you just happened to have the worst luck in the world. 5, instant-gratification is soooooo-something a 5-year would do: so stop wasting money and just get the damn Stasis streetsports already.

He got the coilovers already. [confused]
Bring it to another shop to get them adjusted.
