ok two days ago i put on my focuz RS2 coilovers i used camber kits so thats fine but how about my tow in? do i need an alignment? also i have front and back slammed but the back still has massive wheel gap! there a 4" coilover i was like wtf??? and it rides like sh1t. i rasied the front up 3/4" and it made a noticable diffrence in ride but not hieght, it still rides like sh1t but thats beside the point. im gonna rasie it up another 1/2" in the front but i dont want to rasie the back up because it's stock height! with the coilovers slammed! i was hoping they were gonna settle but they didnt., do you think that my strut is holding my car up? beacuse i cant push my car down in the back at all!! im hoping i can rasie the coilover up and get better ride w\o making my car higher. im gonna go try it in a few mins cuz it's wet out right now but this is pissing me off, im planning on gettin koin yellows for front and kyb's for the back will that make a good combo?

well...first off, you should have stayed away from the focuz coilovers. Thats one reason why it rides like crap. It also sounds like you're riding on the bump stops...which means you have no suspension travel. Thats why when you push it down, it does not move. As far as new shocks...just get koni all the way around. why do u want koni in front and kyb in back?? And finally yes you need an alignment.

did you cut the bump stops?

when installing the coils the bumpstops fell out, i dont have any suspension travel but it's lowerd and dosent look lowerd i rasied it up a lil and it helps but still looks like stock, im prob gonna sell em and get springs, this is bs, im gonna try to get a pretty low spring cuz i spent the $ on camber kits (3 degree) any ideas?

ground control coilovers are a good way to slam a lude, and koni yellows seem to be top knotch.

and YES definitely get a full alignment... thatta tell you everything you need to know about toe...

no matter what coilover you go with you are going to have a bumpy ride. They are all pretty stiff, which handle real well. But I would have gone with ground control. I also would have gotten newer struts...
