Changed My Shocks Now This?!

[SargeRX8]

I was originally running tein HR coilovers. Too hard for my likeing so I got a set of bilstein shocks with the standard r33 springs. They are really comfortable for driving compared to the other set I had before except now if I go over a major pot hole or a crease in the road it literally feels like the car hit the floor. Its a really loud BANG. Its like its too soft now and just BOOM you can hear it and feel it rather badly in the car.

Could it be worn out shocks or are these springs not good? Seriously feels like my car is gonna fall apart haha.

It sounds like you purchased worn Bilstein shock absorbers mate. Get them reconditioned or get new ones.

Are you running bumpstops and if so are they the right ones? If you have none the shocks are probably stuffed. And if the wrong ones then will either be stuffed or give hard ride.

Alternatively they may be Jap spec Bilsteins which are like rock.
