ok on my 88 formula i put on the eibach pro kit droped it down just a little but i wasn't really after the drop as much as i wanted it to handle better well the car did handle really good before the pro kit now it feels like a four door focus when im hard into a turn the front tires feel like they want to slide out from under the car what gives?

 

the car is stiffer now and resists body roll, causing the wheels to take more of the force. solution? better tires.


btw, the lowering is a drop over stock ride height. your springs more than likely have sagged, as have everyones.

 

no the car is not stiffer then what it was with the stock ws6 spring it the eibachs are a lot more bouncy they have been like this sence they where new and they are only like 6 months old

 

did yah put the rears in the front, and the front in the rear?

 

maybe

 

the stiffer thicker ones go in the front, the lighter ones go in the back...

 

Be sure the springs are indexed correctly. I doubt it's possible to mix up the front and back springs on these cars. If you did, the front of the car would be slammed and the rear solid as a rock.

If your car is bouncing, it's more likely your shocks and struts are bad, not your springs. And as far as comparing handling, the Focus handles very well.

 

Your suspension is likely out of balance now. You have new parts combined with old worn out parts. By "bouncy" do you mean a slow floating feeling or do you mean a harsh ubrupt jolt? Your springs and struts are not capable of dampening the new force the springs. Thus, your springs aren't being used to their full potential.

 

i have new sensa track shocks and struts on my car and had it allined and i was just joking with the maybe if i drove my car normal the springs would feel fie but i like to just the handling to the edge before the car would go there and back with out skipping a heartbeat now the car feels like it wants to go into a drift first the front will break loose then it will work its way back then im skipping heartbeats i don't know maybe its just my car it has every 1le option that was avalible in 88 but the a/c delete
