The rear however feels bouncier then usual but maybe it's firming but not getting dampened? I'm not sure but has anyone had the same feel or issue? If so how's it been fixed?

Probably not what you want to hear but my advice would be to bin them and fit different springs.

But I fear the blitz exhaust is soon so scrape.

Maybe not the best investment then, at least they were reasonably priced.
I'm not ultra keen on how much the car has been lowered either though.
Do you have eibachs all round and if so is it harsh/bumpy/how low? Thanks.

I'll have a look at what I can find online and do my research then go from there.![]()
I run 17" wheels, is there an increase in handling from 17 down to 16? I had looked at changing to a 16" setup previously.

Might end up swapping around back to the stock springs for now all round as the ride is quite bouncy.Or might wait until I can afford new shockers all round too.
Then look at other springs to fit when I'm doing shockers.
I would leave the front as it is but uneven heights might cause another issue if I use different springs on back.
Plus I'm purchasing two sets and only using half of each.
