Ok, here's my problem. Every time i hit a pot hole or any unleveled ground my car makes a real loud boom. Is that normal? Its like going over a big curb. I have some generic coilovers, stock shocks, skunk2 camber kit and some 17s. If i replace with some better suspension, is that gonna eliminate the loud boom every time i hit a pot hole? how can i get a softer ride with a aftermarket kit?

I'm guessing that you are bottoming out.
You really need new shocks, they can't take the stress of lowing that well.

some people tell me its my coilovers but i dont know. I had ground controls before and it did the same thing. my shocks are fine. do i need to upgrade?

just try your best to avoid pot holes and what not or raise the car a little...

my shocks are fine.

how do you know they are fine ?

check your bumpstops

 

[phenom3030]

yup, like others said, check your bumpstops, check all 4 shocks, raise the car a bit, and avoid potholes. no pothole or sudden uneven-ness of the road is good for your car, especially your shocks. and considere upgrading those shocks, they are already pretty overworked since you have coilovers.

why did you switch from ground controls to generic adjustable springs?? gc's are high quality!
