My Sportlines

So ive had my sportlines on for about 7k miles and i hate to ride in my car every damn bump u hit u feel anything you can do to help this? Im not gonna go buy new springs, i just didnt know if their was any solutions.

Only option is to go back to stock springs. Aftermarket springs will let you really feel the road, which blows if you live in a state with shitty roads.

i cut the bump stops on my car and i have sportlines and it rides pretty much the same as the stock springs imo, so your problem might be that your hitting the bumpstops going over bumps. i really like the ride of the sportlines, so thats prolly your problem.

I have the same issue. I didn't cut them because I was told not to. I don't mind the overall harshness if it wasn't for the THUD going over big bumps.. And here in PA, we're known for our potholes. lol

I cut my bumpstops as per the Sportlines instructions and I still bottom out. Cutting the stops only gives you a little more headroom and travel in the suspension but the Sportlines will still bottom out because they coil-bing and the spring rates aren't strong enough.

Pedders! (Although they are still a bit hard on some of the huge bumps around PA)
