wasn't sure if this should've been in the suspension section or this section because i'm looking for feedback for FCs, well anyways. I have the Cuscos installed and the rears seem a bit bouncy. I'm on the na s5 rims (15s). my friend thinks my rears are blown, but i wanted to get feedback of how other peoples feel.
the thing is i was told the springs are very stiff and short. I haven't had any coilover experience at all (noob) so i just want to get some feedback from others. thanks

and i've searched but i got forsale ads for these so don't flame

 

did you get the coilovers new? how long ago did you get them? what are the spring rates? do level do you have the dampening adjusted at (if they're dampening adjustable)?

 

That is a very expensive coil over to be blown new.

What tires and what pressure?

 

i got the coilovers used, the seller told me there were no more than 2000 miles on it and he guarnteed it by giving me my money back if i didn't like em.

i tried finding spring rates (note i'm a noob) and found
front is 10kg and rea is 8kg (yeah?)

their not dampening adjustable

i'm running on hankooks and tire pressure i don't know

 

8 kg is pretty hard for standard street driving. I think my rear is too hard and I'm only running 2.5 kg! Also could be because it's not dampening adjustable and it's damped wayyy too hard.

 

i don't think the comp s came with dampening adjustable

 

fc3sfreek just got them

 

Cusco Comp S are the entry level coilover.

Ride height adjustable ONLY. No dampening adjustability. Came with 7k front and 5k rear springs.

Maybe you're just not use to them.

If they were blown, then you should see signs of leaking, wet dirt, or no compression rebound on the shock portion. If you can take apart the coilover, then compress the shock piston and see if it springs back. Check for leaks and report back.

And Cusco Comp S coilovers aren't THAT expensive brand new. They retail about $1600-1800. But who pays retail these days?

 

Yeah...I was just going to say...
The spring rates are wrong as originally quoted.

They should not feel bouncy.
If anything, they should be "bone jarring".
I hope you can understand the difference?

If they are bouncy, they sound dead...
Bouncy implies the damper isn't damping the (large) spring rates.

i just installed mine and the car doesnt bounce at all, and yes they are only ride height adjustable and camber adjustable

 

=( damn i gotta take mine off and look at em

what kind of wheels are you using fc3sfreek? how big are your rims? and how much did you lower it?
