JoeA Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah are made for that as caravans make your car bouncy due to extra rear end weight. ask Mitch with the blue tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaar Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Surely the spring assisters will make the wheel skipping even worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElZ 16v Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah are made for that as caravans make your car bouncy due to extra rear end weight. ask Mitch with the blue tdi cheers il do that What suspension do you have?

Thooooom Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Do you mean bouncy like soft suspension? Or bouncy like rock solid and you hit the bumps in the road? I run TA's without helpers and they're like rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thooooom Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yeah I've heard that, but obviously only for the rear. I think mine are fine, they're rock hard but if they weren't I wouldn't be able to be as low so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElZ 16v Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 im more concerend about the front bouncing alot but guess il have to live with it or buy different coilovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen33 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Just be because it's that far down and constantly sat on the bump stops.If by wound all the way down you actually mean bottom of the threads then chances are the springs not even in contact with upper support?Will be able to wind the adjusters up a good inch and it wont make a difference to the ride height Just what I've experienced so might not be correct in your case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElZ 16v Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 yep when fully wound down on the raceland springs the suspension quite literally didnt move it was only tyre flexing because it was because the shock was constantly bottomed out i think wound it up a few turns the suspension actually works a bit now aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
