The rear end wiggled and felt unsettled, and didn't inspire confidence.
Up in the canyons, every time I encountered mid-curve dips, the rear end wallowed and felt unsettled. I wasn't happy with the way it felt. |
Your description of the downfalls of lowering springs on stock dampers is spot on. I can't believe I lived with them for a year lol.
After switching to AST coilovers, the ride was so much better and the car never feels unsettled.
If I could go back, I would have probably purchased Bilstein B8 struts to go with the lowering springs.
