KLA Coilover/Rear Suspension ?'s
86 951 -
I have KLA rear coilovers w/ 95 lb springs on the rear, with stock torsion bars. The car was sagging about an inch before installing the coil overs, and they brought it back up. I am now having an issue with the rear feeling very "bouncy". I can pucs it down with my hands in the back, and it will bounce around when i bump it. It felt way too mushy when compared to a freinds stock 951. What should i check/adjust to hopefully six this problem? Dampning? Hopefully teh KLA guys see this, as they can prob. answer it best.
TIA

You should adjust for stiffness. Initially I had mine on the softess and the car was real bouncy. Mine are twelve-way adjustable. Now they are at number "6" and the car is quite stable.

yea, i'm guessing you have them on their softest setting. i set mine on 6 or 7 and they tolerate the 275 lb springs without too much bounce. i probably need 1 or 2 clicks stiffer

Heh, and I thought I was so clever when I realized I could get a complete set of rear coilovers for 400 through summit racing. Looks like lots of people have QA1s.
