PMSL

if youve only fitted springs your shocks are probably buggered, also needs time to settle and iirc you havent got any interior in yours so theres no weight over them :thumb:

standard on the rear shouldnt but you need performance ones on the front, check there are no bump stops on them, or find a few beafy mates to drive round in!

good test, bounce the front end of the car, if you feel a thud then the bumpstops are geting in the way, if not the car should go down and then up then settle, if it goes up and down more than that then your shockers fooked!

If the back end is stripped that is normal. You need some 80mm springs.

Shocks do NOT make a difference to ride height!
