Dc Coil Overs- R33 Rear End Skipping Around, Unstable Ride!

[drifta1600]

hi all. ive got some coil overs from dc. since ive put them in, when ever the road is a little bumpy (not bad) the rear end skips around and looses traction easily. im trying to get it sorted be for i get my e85 tune.

just wanting to know if any one has fixed this problem with the damper addjustments.

im yet to get get a wheel alling ment.

its not too low eather.

thanks

Have you tried changing the damper settings?

[drifta1600]

yer i have a little bit. ive go them on the softer side, but was thinking if i go harder, it would make it worse? do you know if the damper addjustment controls compression and rebound or just one or the other?

[GTSBoy]

The damper adjustments on any of these cheapshit coilovers do both bump and rebound at the same time.

Have you got any idea at all what the spring rates are?

Throw those uprights out and put something decent on your car.

8kg f 6kg rear. some people say there crap, some peole say there awsome! be fore i got them i talked to heaps of people. the mejority loved them, only some people said they would prefer somthing else.

there a hell of alot beter than std any way.

Pretty stiff. Lesson learned.

[niZmO_Man]

They're probably okay for circuit use, but too stiff for street. Crap dampers never helps.

Try running the dampers on softer settings.

i did somthing that helped HEAPS! i installed some of those aloy subframe bush spacers. dont no why some say there noisey! there fine on the road! but they helped so much with the skipping around! and satbility, so much more power to the ground! best $69 handeling upgrade you can get!

[GTSBoy]

That's not an upgrade. That's called a band-aid. The subframe bushes must be absolutely stuffed.

[drifta1600]

haha, yer well, works good, and they will last for ever! i love em! definitly an upgrade for me!

[hardsteppa]

It improves the handling, therefore an upgrade. I found the difference in vibration noticeable but stiff sh&t, most performance upgrades come at a price and its certainly liveable. Agreed , well worth it for the low co$t.

did you get an alignment after installing the coilovers?
