Lowering springs installed without performance shocks will be bouncy. Some setups aren't bad if the new springs are relatively soft and don't offer a huge drop, but most lowering springs do not work well with OEM shocks.

Do lowering springs bouncy?
no. Springs don't cause a bouncy ride. Improperly matched shocks do. A shock isdesigned to dampen a spring when it compress and rebound.
What causes suspension to bounce?
Your tires have excessive or uneven wear. You have a loose steering linkage. Your struts or shocks are damaged or leaking. Loose or damaged ball joints.
What is bad about lowering springs?
Poorly done or extreme lowering can cause suspension and steering parts to contact each other, the wheels or the tires. It could also cause tires to rub the body during turns or going over bumps.
Why are cut springs bouncy?
Its bouncy because when you cut the spring you are removing the lighter poundage part , leaving you with hard as hell or nothing . Thats why its a good idea to buy lowered springs matched to the appropriate matching dampers . That way you have a harder ride but at least some give before they firm right up .
What helps reduce suspension bounce?
Your shock absorbers are the primary suspension components that actually help "absorb shock" preventing continued bounce every time you accelerate, stop, corner or hit a bump.
Why is my car bouncing when I stop?
If the vehicle shakes or the engine shudders a lot when stopped at a stoplight, or when parked with the engine idling, it might indicate the motor mounts or transmission mounts are damaged or broken. ... If the shaking decreases, it's a strong indicator the engine's motor mounts need to be inspected by a mechanic.
Why does my car bounce when I accelerate?
When the inner CV joint is damaged or begins to fail, you will notice your car vibrating under hard acceleration. As it gets worse, the minor vibrations turn to violent shaking when under load. Damaged CV joints usually occur because of a tear in the joint boot. ... The only fix is to completely replace the CV joint.
Does lowering a car damage it?
A lowered car may put extra stress on various other suspension and steering system parts, leading to excessive wear and even premature failure. Tires may rub against sheet metal or suspension parts, causing damage to both. The ride will almost always be harsher, as most lowering methods reduce spring travel.
Are lowering springs good for daily driving?
If you want to lower your daily driver, then look to install lowering spring instead. Lowering spring will lower your car and still provide you with the handling improvement (although not as much). However, this handling improvement is usually enough if you are driving on the street with your daily driver.
Do lowering springs ruin ride quality?
Your factory shocks' overall ride quality is tuned to be most effective at the stock ride height. Lowering springs are shorter in length (most of the time) compared to factory springs, your shocks will be riding lower in their travel than they were designed to be at while sitting at normal ride height.
Is it bad to cut springs to lower car?
The first thing you need to know is that cutting a coil spring will not only lower the vehicle, but it will also stiffen the spring making the ride and handling a bit firmer. But this is a good thing because lowering a vehicle reduces the amount of suspension travel. A stiffer spring will help reduce bottoming out.
Are Cut springs really that bad?
Registered. No, cutting off some coils actually increases the spring rate, even for a linear rate spring. In principal, there is nothing really wrong with cutting springs. The problem is that often the cut springs are not paired with better dampers, which is a problem.
Can Unbalanced tires cause bouncing?
A car's tires can become unbalanced if the weight of any of the four tires isn't evenly distributed around the wheel. Instead of delivering a smooth, consistent ride as you travel down the road, the tires may bounce, even on smooth, well-paved roads.
Why is my car feeling every bump?
Feeling every bump
If you start to feel every bump on the road, it's a clear sign that there is a problem with your shock absorbers or struts, that needs to be checked. An easy check is the bounce test. ... If your car has shock absorbers, look for leaks of the fluid that helps dampen the bouncing.
Why does my car bounce when I hit a bump?
Since your vehicle moves all over the road after a bump, this indicates that your tires are indeed not staying firmly planted and are bouncing uncontrollably. This continual bouncing of the suspension will prematurely wear out other front-end components and cause the tires to wear unevenly.
