Bouncy ride!!!!!!
Hey cl I just installed my RCA(38mm) and dropped my car about half an inch to an inch an now the car ride is frekain BUMPY!!! I mean it's like every single imperfection in the road it bounces nonstop. You can hear the splash guard dragging on the ffloor. Anyway I was wondering if anyone knows what's wrong? Too low? RCA? Bad suspension? Btw I'm on tein flex coilovers with edfc set to stiffest setting

sounds like blown shocks on your coilovers...you could be riding on pure spring action...this is what I experienced long ago....really bouncy ride...no dampening at all....and feeling every imperfection in the road.

You mean you were slammed lower and the UCA was hitting the inner wheel well strut mount?
Glad it wasn't blown shocks. You would know if it was blown...you would see a oil running down the side of the coilover tube.

i think you were just bottoming out and didn't know it.. Teins don't allow the adjustment of the lower shock body. So when you lower your car, you have to adjust the preload of the springs on the coilovers.. what was happening was, the shock was becoming even more compressed than normal due to the drop, and your springs were not compensating for the extra drop.. Which, I think, is why after raising your car back up a little, you added more preload to the suspension, thus giving you a better chance of not bottoming out (or letting the UCA's hit the top of the wheel well).
if tein flex's allow lower shock body adjustment, disregard this post.. lol
