Coilovers are no fun!!! Options

i went on a trip to see my girlfriend who goes to school at chapel hill this weekend and i really have to vent about my coilovers. THEY SUCK!!!! yea, they make the car look really good and all, but riding on the interstate sucks with stock shocks. i hit bridges where it has a lip and my speaker box flew up in the air, ripped the power wire out, and blew my fuse under the hood for my amp. it was not a fun ride listening to treble for 2 hours. oh well, guess its something i gotta live with until i get new shocks. thanks for lettin me get that outta my system. anyone else need to vent then nows the time.

Wow even with the Koni's it's making a noise in the front? I have GC's as well but still riding on stock springs. Mine right now are making undescribable racketing/squeeking/chattering noises. I woulda thought with the Koni's you'd get a lil better ride quality than any other shock mod that's out there? Ride quality on my celi is bearable but I wish it was a lil better. White GTS Does your GC's sound like the spring is vibrating/moving about on the perch??

I had Ground Control coilovers for one week prior to getting the Koni Yellows's installed. Once I got the Ground Control coilolvers I wanted to throw away my car cause the handling and ride feeling was so bad. It was making all kind of noises when I turned and went over a bumpy road plus I would be bouncing up and down going at high speeds. I relized that I damaged my factory Shocks once I lowered it since my car is a 94 and I guess it was time for a replacement anyways. Once I replaced the shocks ride was excellent but it still made that knocking / racketing noise when I made my turns at reversing or parking speed.

Don't get me wrong Koni's made a big different but I think the noise is caused by the Ground Controls ince I had it from day one of installing them in.

CelicaQT I think you need to replace your shocks.
