Guest matts1185 Posted August 31, 2006 my 205 feels like a boat lol. have gaz adjustable shocks front jamex springs rear has been lowered to match i belive with a rear recon beam earlier this year. the slitest bump makes the hole car go up and down. i have the shocks turned up to max hard thining this would stop it and make it solid but it didnt. the other day i was driving in traffic at 15mph i was going up and down like a yoyo the rest of the cars didnt even seem to see any bumps in the roead. anyone any ideas. does anyone have experiance of these shocks as the adjusters are really crap quality and hard to set the sides the same. thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted August 31, 2006 to stop it bouncing you want SOFTER suspension. by lowering it you shorten the travel, which in turn needs stiffer shoch absorbers which dont deal with small undulations very well. Lets give you an case study, 206 gti 180 vs CTR. 206 has been slated by some for being too soft especially on the track, but is great bimbling round town and teh suspension is really supple making blasting B roads and lanes a hoot. Totally the opposite for the CTR, Hard as fook and sticks like poo on smooth tarmac (read track), but unforgiving and harsh around town and soo hard its twitchy as hell on B roads and lanes and a nightmare to handle.

kyepan 291 Posted August 31, 2006 my gaz coilovers have 275lbs springs in them and it bounces too, you can get a set of replacement springs for about 40 quid from demon tweaks.. most people here recommend 200-215lbs springs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted August 31, 2006 The Gaz Damper's work on rebound not Bump so it won;t control the ride as well as even a std Pug Damper, Are they 2 1/4" coil over's? or std dia spring's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest matts1185 Posted September 1, 2006 thanks all for info. they are standard type of shock just adjustable damping. the rear seems worse than the front Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rippthrough 98 Posted September 1, 2006 (edited) Turn the damping down, you have too much rebound - 8/10 clicks is a good starting setting for the front. 16-20 is generally a good setting to start on the rears. The wheels are probably leaving the floor. Edited September 1, 2006 by Rippthrough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
