New Coilovers, too bouncy

Newbie here..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FW6...4F0511Q69KQBFZ

I've had these installed yesterday on my '03 g35 coupe
Ride is way too bouncy no matter the what I adjust hardness/softness to. I'M totally oblivious to any aftermarket suspension, much help and advice would be appreciated

I don't know of many G35 members that have installed the Godspeed kit, but my recommendation is to up the compression and lower rebound.

Problem is you bought a crappy brand of coils, sorry. And also what they said.

The only way to remedy this is to get rid of them (sell them, I'm sure someone will buy them) and purchase a better set of coilovers.

The spring rates on these coils are really high 12k/10k, which is 672/560. OEM rates are closer to 6k or 7k. You may want to look into replacing the springs with something softer. Check with the manufacturer what their threshold is on changing springs, many shocks will allow you to go up or down 2k before the shocks have to be revalved. if they allow a 2k change than you can try 10k/8k springs.
