Been a while, but I've been away at a school for work...
Anytime I hit a small dip in the road my tires rub and the car bottoms out.
I installed new Eaton Springs giving them the specs of my car. I asked for 1 inch below factory and told them it has a BBC instead of a Pontiac engine (I wish it had a 400). However, the car still bottoms out. My friend lowered the car onto a shock that was not bolted in and bent it, so I went to a local chain and bought Monroe shocks ($24 for both).
Shocks/leafs in the back are of unknown age.
I know the bottoming problem is occurring up front, as when I hit a dip going around a curve, the steering wheel tries to recenter.
Is this a cheap shock problem? I did a search and found that most of you recommend the KYB shocks. Will the gas adjustable be worth a try?
The rear sits up nicely, and I don't seem to be having any issues with the back end rubbing.
