Getting a stiffer ride without lowering excessively

[Sky Render]

My car is in storage right now, but I just found brand new tokico d spec struts for 200 total locally, snatched those up. So now in the market for the rear shocks. My car came with a eibach pro kit, and had a crazy harsh ride. Noticed the bump stops were hittin so cut those an inch off and rides much better. Now its floaty at higher speeds lol.

Freedom racing is currently making their relocation brackets, so once thats done Im getting those along with adj panhard, lower and upper control arms. Then my suspension will be corrected from the previous owner lowering it. And almost complete once I get my rear shocks.

After that its swaybar time, so Ill be buggin Sam Strano in the spring for a set of his. Oh and when the tokicos go in, im getting gt500 strut mounts also. They dont creak or anything now already being through a strut change, but I doubt it would survive a second change without the popping noise you get.

Your car was so low it was hittting the bump stops, so your solution was to cut the bumpstops?!

Yup, in the documentation it actually tells you to, or you can just order new lower bumpstops. I just cut mine and oiled the tops (like a cork material) Bumpstops were designed for stock ride height, makes sense if you lower the car, lower the bumpstops. Previous owner that installed the springs forgot that part, which is why it rode so damn hard, I was basically riding on them. Rode like a lumber wagon. Cut the stops like 2 weeks before I parked it for the winter, rode a ton better and I can go across most tracks without slowing to a crawl anymore.
