SOOO now what do i do>?

ok guys
i have had H&R springs (bout the same drop as Eibach Sportlines) in my 300c for over a year.
only other thing is hotchkis sway bars and soon to be 22's

the ride is getting pretty bouncy so i assume the struts are gone

what would you all do to upgrade the suspension to be a good cruiser????

dont want a track car, just love to drive around

please any suggestion????

If you are bouncing that sounds like the shocks a going,check them for fluid leaks.

Sure you "can" do it. But why?


Thats the OP's problem right now. He lowered with stock shocks. So now they are trashed. He will have that problem over and over again if he keeps putting stockers on. Just like numerous people on this forum.

I also dont see too many people lowered on stockers without any problems? Maybe for a while, but eventually they will get trashed as well.

Maybe you meant people lowered with stock shocks dont mind their car riding like garbage?

Yeah that's true if you keep lowering on stocks they're going to keep going out, especially with a car that has a few years on the struts. I'd say go for the koni's or get some eibach.
