i feel slower :(

i had my bc coilovers installed a couple days ago. i started driving it and the car felt sooooooooooo slower than before when i had my s-techs. i understand the coilovers are heavier but are they really that much heavier that you could notice the difference? if it matters any,i rubb a little in the rear when goin over certain bumps. am i the only one that noticed it slower after the the coilovers being installed??

Same here. just installed coilovers on my Z. I think it's because the "toe" is way off point. so either the wheels are facing out/inward which is causing you being held back. just my opinion.

the coilovers should also be lighter and smaller from my experience.

you guys sure it just doesn't feel as fast because your new coilovers may be a little stiffer and you aren't getting that front end lift and dip like with the fairly soft s-techs?
