Ford Probe is a Mazda underneath !!

I bet everyone on this forum can say that they have liked a car they really shouldnt have !!

Anyway.....back on topic !!

Any advice re setting coilovers would be good.

Well we took the car out for a spin today down the Fakenham road plus also some country lanes.

My god were we shaken about lol.

Adjusted the damping a few clicks which made it a bit smoother but not a lot.

I am finding the car very bouncy when its going in one dip and out and then into the next.

Is this normal ? Its weird because I thought the suspension would either be bouncy or ultra hard. I seem to have both which is weird.

Gonna raise the ride height a tad as there is only less than an inch between the wheel and wheel arch and thats not enough clearance, could feel it rubbing and suspect that gave me some problems.

Anybody got any ideas of what else to try ?

my teins where like that but you soon get used to it, the best thing you can do is book it down at the guys down auto test they have set up every car i have owned and i took my s14a to them to get it setup after all my supension mods where on before the last track day, and you would not belive the difference it makes even @ 30mph lol :-D

Cheers for the reply mate, is Autotest the place by the airport ? Alexb recommended them so it will be going to them when I do the rears.

Do they just setup the geometry on the car or the whole thing ?

Any ideas on prices ?

Sorry mate because of the meet I didnt get a chance to do the rears yet. Hopefully I should get some time this weekend but if not it'll be next one.

Should be in the next couple of weeks I will be booking it in.

Cheers for your help on this, a few people I spoke to on wed said I would notice a huge difference when done.
