^^^your car is to high and probably rolls around like a boat if you haven't changed/cut your bump stops

doesn't handle like a boat, just bouncy.

Taking into consideration, the xyz coilovers are a lot shorter then the standard ones, so even when the spring is adjusted high they seem to be touching, I can increase the length of the shock (rebound - correct if wrong), hopefully this might help.

Just for info, as it sits now it is still a fair gap above the wheel, I don't want it dragging on the ground I just like a bit of tire tuck.

Yep, my SSSL rear needed cut bumps. They are actually close to them on stock springs.

Pics below of SSL rear with trimmed bump stops. If they were not trimmed there would be less then 5mm clearance between the bump stop and arm.

Did you do this yourself mate? How much of a mission is it? Cheers

I cut the bump stops when I was fitting the springs. They pull out easy and you can cut them with a hacksaw or sharp knife.

They are easy to get to so you should have no dramas trimming them without having to pull then out.

Thanks mate, I'm keen to chuck a set of SSSLs in the rear just to see how different it looks / rides. If its none to complex I might have a crack myself.

I have the Torana King Springs in the rear. Love the height, never had any dramas from police or anything.

Haven't lowered the front yet because lazy.. And I don't know what springs to use.
