I know what your problem is, they are on your car. If you send them to me I will send you mine and you won't have the bounce problem anymore.

It helps me!!

It sounds as though they might not be set hard enough. If they are bouncing then they aren't dampning enough.

If they were set too hard then your ride would be like a rock..

If you push down hard on your bumper/fender/front of car it should rebound up and that's it. If it bounces you need to adjust to make it a little stiffer. I was looking at the QA1 24 coilovers. How do you like yours? Were they worth the money?
