I know this has been discussed extensively, but will someone please explain these terms to me? I'm tired of guessing/assuming.

Thanks

 

when you drive down the highway, the smallest bumps make the nose of the car pop up and down alot.


kinda like a dolphin(porpoise) jumping along the surface of the water

 

Jetjammer: It's hard to tell in your avatar, but it doesn't look like you have the spoiler or splashguards on yet.

 

What happens is the shocks don't control the rebound on the springs quickly enough. When going on, say, a concrete highway with regular expansion joints, the car will get into a really bad state of bouncing up and down, because the shocks are still trying to control the rebound from one joint when you hit the next one, which makes it even worse than just the small bump the expansion joint should be causing.

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

Howzit Doc!

No, they haven't been installed yet. I'm going a different route, body kit. Just haven't decided which one yet. I may install the flaps today, temporarily. Z will be in a car show this weekend.
