bouncy ride - p5 '02
I have a P5 2002 that I use for daily driving and the ride is bouncy over small bumps. It gets fatiguing by the end of the day. I know there is a compromise of performance versus comfort. What would you recommend I do to dampen the bumpy feeling?
Thanks,
Dave

hmm, I haven't noticed a bumpy ride even with "performance" springs. It is possible there is a suspension problem either with sturt valve gassing or a broken end link or what not. How well does the car handle hard in a turn? How many miles?? wheels stock?

If you don't find a problem anywhere, and the car is low mileage, you might try swapping to some Eibach springs. They will lower the car about 1.5", but they're a progressive rate coil, meaning the initial compression is a bit softer than normal, then stiffens up as you really dive into a turn. I think these actually ride a bit better than the stockers did.

It's the design from the factory, mine has the same bounce. And dropping the car will only make it worse. When you add the 1.5 drop coils, your only shortening the distance between you and the road. And the amount of shock abosrbtion between you and the road. Progressive Rate coil or not, your bounce is going to get worse.

maybe try
hey, new here first post
i also live in CO my wife commutes an hour to denver 5dys/wk in here '01 LX 2.0
i installed tokico HP and teins (2" drop +/-) the rolling bumps are much smoother
but seams and cracks are much more noticeable....she hated it....
point is this all evened out by running an ultra-light after market wheel
