ST coilovers installed - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The bouncy part is corrected with rebound and compression which is on the adjustable coilovers. Those don't care what ride height you're at as long as they're valved properly and set at the right specs. Otherwise, the only solution is to raise the car back up a few to make them feel nice.

Hmm, maybe I just need to get used to them. They deff feel bouncier than my Eibach Sportline/OEM strut combo. Just got everything dialed in yesterday so I still need to drive around moar. -3F/-3.5R camber currently. Hotchikis camber plate/SPL Rear LCA.

Happy so far

I could understand the bouncyness you feel, I've read that these are a bit underdamped. I've considered getting swift spring of the same rate or a tad lower but it doesn't bother me enough.

I will +1 this. I have had mine on for about 6 months now and have the exact same experience with them

mine are not bouncy at all

wtf will it cause it to ride bouncier? Starting to annoy me a bit.

If its bouncy that means the shock absorber is blown. One way that i know to test is pull it out, dissemble and compress by hand, it should return back up quite fast.

BRZPDX · 09-18-2014, 04:09 PM

goddamnit.. Hope its not blown. Any other ways to check it other than disassembling everything?

yomny · 09-18-2014, 04:38 PM

Not that I know, search around in google they have a couple of methods but I only know the "pushing down the piston". Best of luck man,

yomny · 09-24-2014, 04:25 PM

Hopefully tomorrow, depending on what time my wheels get it, i'll post some more pics of the car with them on.

yomny · 09-26-2014, 03:12 PM

As promised for those interested pics with the wheels on.

Nice. 1" front and rear drop correct? Pictures of the rear would be nice also. Are you planning on adjusting the rear camber later on to fix the negative camber?

yomny · 09-26-2014, 04:39 PM

Yeah about 1" still within the recommended settings that ST provides to retain shock travel. I have to install camber plates up front and arms on the rear. I need more camber to tuck the big 255's and for track. Right now is all stock alignment. I'll get a few more pics up. Lots of black rubber with black wheels aren't too photogenic but it looks mean in person.

This part is for those that want to remove that rear fender/bumper tab and can't find any how-to. Its pretty simple...

Tab removal

-remove tab or break off with a small screw driver(flat)
-pull rear bumper outward towards you to separate(softly, it will unclip)
-you will see the trim that allows bumper to clip on(pictured below.)
-i used a metal cutting scissor to cut the plastic (use what you want)
-Using a sharp knife or blade, trim plastic to your liking, its super soft and easy to cut(pictured below after being cut)
