So yesterday I finally got around to getting my stance coilovers installed. I set the damper to "0" and after driving I noticed that when I would come to a slow stop at a light that the car would rock front to back alittle. I tried messing with the damper but still get the same results. Anyone ever experience and know what could be the problem. Also when I purposely shake the car from outside you can see it swaying oppose to it being stiff and barely even moving.

Did you get an alignment done? If not, get one done. If so, allow the coilovers to break in and "settle" especially if they are new. The ride will get better. Good luck.

^No alignment done as of yet. I plan on doing it this week. But could that be the reason why its so easy to rock the car? The coilovers are 2nd hand and seemed fine but it just seems like something in the rear has play which i'm thinking now it may be the sway bar, but i'm not sure as of yet.

Regardless, an alignment would be in order after you've dialed in the height. Not sure if you're set on full stiff dampening (hard) or have super stiff spring rates.

+1 on alignment after coilover install or major suspension work.
after i installed my coilovers i had a stupid amount of toe in,
which would cause my tires to follow the grooves in some of the worse
roads on the highway and make me swerve slightly within my lane

^yes i'm gonna tryt o get the car aligned tomorrow and keep you guys update on if that fixes it.

Post up what is out of spec after the alignment. Also, approx how low are you F/R ?

Triton3k

will do. gotta wait til monday to get the car aligned.

Ok... If you give the car a good bounce at all four corners, does any corner bounce more than once?

Triton3k

^I have to try each individual corner and see what happens.

Check ride height. The back might be a bit more lower then the front. Lower the front end or raise the rear.

I had this issue after install the sc430 coilover on my gs. I had to mess with the rear spring perch for the preload.

I'm having the same problems on the Megan Ez's I recently installed.. I just got an alignment yesterday so Im hoping it settles in better.. I also noticed that I couldnt't ride all the way on the soft setting.. I had to turn it up about 7-8 clicks from the soft setting towards hard. I wonder if i should kick the rear up a lil more. Right now I'm close to the same height front and rear.. I measured from the highest arch on the wheel wells. I also gotta find somewhere more level to measure..

Also, try and get at least half tank of gas in BEFORE you finalize your desired ride height. Keep in mind yourself as weight ... I usually get all that out of the way, play with dampening and wait a week or 2 then head off for an alignment
