running gf210's w/stock shocks
 
I was on 680 and just passed the oakland tunnel. Then hit a slight bump in the road and almost bottomed out! The ride is VERY bumpy and feels dangerous, it feels like i caught some air! anyone else experience this and is the problem because of the stock shocks

question is... how long have you been running them? the gf's are low.

You shouldn't bottom out, even catching a little air. The ride is "stiffer" because of the 30% increase over the stock springs....I would suggest some Tokico shocks for your lowered Z.
BTW I drove with my Gf's with stock shocks for 15K miles before I added the tokicos.

Stiffer spring require more dampening, your stock shocks don't cut it , and with the extra load put on them/piston being in a different part of the stroke , they wear out quick. D specs should be your shock of choice. If you want to play , you have to pay.

i've had them on for about 10k miles. Hey bornslippz so how much of a difference did you notice once you got the tokicos?
