You don't necessarily need anything else.

Maybe rear LCAs to dial in camber perfectly, but not 100% required.

Awesome to see you working them out!

Done.



And now that my coilovers have been broken in the bounciness seems to be minimized. Like others have said it is the seams in the highway that are evenly spaced that I am feeling. Otherwise the ride is nice. Plus I think i am a tad on the low side so I am going to raise it up a little and re evaluate.

But consider me happy now!

Yeah, my girlfriend spilled her coffee in my car on the way to cars and coffee from the bounciness. Probably need to break in a bit more. I am fairly low as well, but not slammed.

To everyone who reports bounciness - get the 350 rate springs. No bouncy there. Just freaking on rails.

You still got these? I just ordered a set of Tarmac Zero's and might need em. Let me know and I'll bring the money for em to London Square tomorrow night. :happy0180:

They're gone. As a pro tip, order them from ebay. It took the dealer like 3 weeks to get them.

Bouncy can usually be corrected by the damper settings.

Thanks RCE for bringing these to market, I can't imagine anything else touching these for anything close to the price. Perfect for about 90% of the owners.

T-Zero does not have damper settings, there is no adjustment. Bouncy could mean blown strut, or the wrong definition of bouncy.

I am also curious as to what definition of "bouncy" is being used. I have one section on the way to work where I bounce a fair amount, but that is because it is a bridge with large seams in the pavement. Maybe because I ride with them everyday I do not notice any bounciness because I perceive it as normal.
