    Default suspension once again... DESPERATE

    okay now I am frustrated. I have KYB agx in the front and just bought some used Koni yellows(adjustable) that I just installed in the rear... I have ground control coilovers... I tested the shock and it was good before I bought it I pushed it down and it came back up with no problem...

    After I installed them, I noticed the car is like 4x4 NO BS it is super high in the back and the sleeve is adjusted to be all the way down. I can stick 3 fingers between the quarter panel and tires and the car is also SUPER SUPER bouncy. IDK what to do. does anyone know what this can be?

    You have the spring perch on the koni yellow at its highest, remove the spring perch and put the retaining ring on the lowest groove

    I decided to keep it since it was not bouncy just not perfect riding.
