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

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.

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.
