Hsd coil over install: shaky ride

Just installed my hsd coils rear slightly higher then the front due to the adjustment on the rear even maxed out isn't close to how low the front can go. Steering feels stiff overall ride feels like I have a flat tire when all tires are even pressure. I measured threads to make sure both rear are the same and fronts are same but like I said the rear do sit higher. Been hearing things about axel bind and motor mounts. Any idea what could be wrong? Both axels are new within a year same with front bearings and brand new sway links. Car is 05 supercharged. Feedback much appreciated

Did you get the car aligned? and did you get rotated mounts?
raise the front a bit and it should help.

Alightment with coils is a MUST, just went through this recently myself.. Alightment fixed 99%

car shouldnt feel like it has a flat tire lol.

drove my car around for like a week with new coils and the ride was worst/stiffer but certainly not undriveable.

if you dont have rotated mounts, and im assuming you dropped the car way down, you can bet its axle bind. i was on h&r race springs and had axle bind issues (about a 2" drop)rotated mounts helped, lifting the car back up fixed it.

try raising the car up and see if it changes.
