%@#& WHAT DID I DO????
Sunday, July 22, 2007 11:58 AM
ok so these apartments have KILLER TRIPLE SPEED BUMPS.... my new cavy is the only car i have ever NOT bottomed out on them. and i had 4 peoplein it!!! i was really happy. 2-3 miles later we notice when we go over bumbs the fronts were squeeking. it got progressively worse untill we returned to the bumps and then.... i bottomed out. (5 people now)

a few hours later (now with 4 people) the squeeks seemed to have disapeared and didnt bottom out AS HARD. but it seems to ride different now. it used to feel like a giant cushion beneath me and now its more like a 3 inch barrier.

HAVE I BLOWN A SHOCK OR WTF?????
i dont know JACK @!#$ about suspension so PLEEAASSSe help the warrenty expires NEXT WEEK!!!







Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.

Sounds like maybe a blown strut or something... is one side of the car lower than the other?

and how the hell did you get 5 people in the car?? cuz i can barely do 4 people, granted, all my size. but wow...

and how fast did you go over the speed bump(s), if anything, going over them faster is going to kill the car faster than having a lot of people in it, unless you like overdid the weight limit of the car or soemthing.

5 people in a cav, that's probably the lowest you can get without bags or adjustable coilovers.

I don't like even 1 person in the back of my car. DONT lower your car when you really need to get a mini van.

lowerings the last thing on my list. engine work comes first. i dont see why you guys trip on 5 people. i didnt even bottom out on the killer speed bumps. a feat only to be acheived by trucks previously.

so ill do it in a year or to but for now...
what are some good quality coilovers that could take some weight. also i plan on going to strip/ road courses so they gotta be good. i only plan on a very mild drop. (1-2 inches) more at the track

Pretty much all of the coilovers are going to be able to take the weight, because they all have higher spring rates than stock, but for quality: Tein, Gravana, Ground Control, MantaPart, RK Sport.
