I looked for a "Suspension" forum, but I was uable to find one...so I hope that it's ok that I put this thread in this forum.
Here's my problem...
Last weekend I installed some coilovers to the front end of my 99 Cobra and the kit I bought is made by D&D Motorsports. The coilovers are ment to work with factory, or factory-like struts. I installed the coilovers with the factory struts and now the front end of my car bounces. The suspension and handling is very tight, but has a significant "pogo" effect to it. D&D Makes 2 different front coilover kits, the "Drag" and "Handling." I bought the handling kit which is supposed to come with 250lb springs vs the 200lb springs that are on the "Drag" kit. Before these coilovers I had the Eibach ProKit springs installed up front and there was no bouncing what so ever. With the coilovers I was able to get the front end wheel well gap down about another 1" to 1.5" and like I said, it is now bouncy.
Is there a cheap or easy fix to this problem? Do I need to buy after market struts? Do I have to get adjustable struts?
Any help from you guys will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Alberto
