Eibach Sportlines - dangerous right now

Jbauer · 05-26-2008, 10:43 AM

My Factory struts aren't blown, they're in great condition, and dont bouncein excess when i test them by handor leak.

The problem i'm having is that at times- for example, those steel rods that go 'bump,bump,bump' on bridges and stuff will cause my car to bounce one time. This bounce is very harsh, and it knocks me off my seat, literally. Last night i drove about 50 miles to pick up an exhaust system at around midnight. I hit like 3 of those bumps at about 90-95 MPH, and the last one i isht you not- nearly bumped me the hell off the road. Again- these struts arent blown or anything, they are just factory.

Is this how lowered cars are suppose to handle? Again, this is Eibach Sportlines, with no isolators up front.
I'm thinking, about buying some performance struts, I do a lot of weekend drag racing, so i was thinking i'd need something adjustable.

I had KYBs in mind, but what do you guys recomend?

How many miles are on your car right now? What year is it?

Jbauer · 05-27-2008, 01:33 AM

00 GT. 85,000 miles.

With that year, and that many miles, your stock shocks are definitely gone, no doubt. They were probably gone about 6 years or about 60,000 miles ago.

I'd suggest aftermarket shocks & struts, such as Tokico or Bilstein. This will really fix your problem, and totally change the ride.

REally? that makes sense, yesterday, for the first time i heard one of the shocks make a squeak.

Howare theKYB AGX Adjustables?

KYB AGX's are great as OEM replacement shocks, but we do not usually recommend KYB with lowering springs.

If you really want an adjustable setup, a small investment more will give you the Tokico D-specs, which are a fully adjustable (rebound and compression adjusted) shock, and will work better with the lowering springs.
