Eibach . Bounce ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Installed Eibach springs and sways a while ago , timed the bushings and got a good alignment . At highway speeds on irregular bumps the car felt like it had an extra bounce , so I loosened all the suspension pivot points again and this time drove the car around the block before tightening it all up , aligned it and still feel the bounce .
Any suggestions ? Does anyone think compressing the shocks that extra inch or so put them out of their effective damping range ?

I know that Eibach used to be "affectionately" known as Eibounce.....

You lowered the car, it will have a little more bounce to it. Personally hoping they come up with dampners like they made for the Magnum I had.

Mine has been lowered for over a year now with the Eibach Pro spring kit and it is a little stiffer but I have no bounce.

If your bushings were re-timed properly... look into a complete bushing replacement kit... pick a company and just do it... you will not be sorry
