ScORTED Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 you might need to get some stiffer shocks on? they never even rubbed on my mk3 fiesta :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchkev Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 bounce test, push the back end down and it should bounce 1 and a half times then settle, anymore and its fooked not 100% accurate testing but more an unspoken rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
