The ride is horrible for being on Tein S tech springs with stock shocks. I know its suppose to be rough buy my car shifts left to right when I go over pot holes instead of going up and down it gives me a jerking movement or when going on older road my back is ready to give out the ride is horrible.

That's funny. I just sold a set of stock shocks with tein s-techs and the ride was more than comfy.

was it installed correctly? it could also be your wheels. check that they're tightened down.

This shop does a lot of work on suspension and alignments for track cars and open track cars. I am not sure if this geographically convenient for you.

I would say about 5k mles after install? I also had to get a Camber Kit put in because it wouldn't align ..Yes believe it or not with a 1inch drop they couldn't align it. So I bought a used SPC Camber kit and ever since then its been horrible before that it wasn't too bad but its ridiculous now I've been avoiding it and just driving but when I have passengers they make me realize how bad it is lol

@NGCAMBER I'm all the way in Sacramento anything closer to me?

sorry I really meant how many miles does your shocks have altogether. there's a high chance it might be the shocks and yeah, you should check your wheels too.

Sitting at 66k on the oem shocks right now....Ill check out a tire shop tomorrow and get back to you guys. I feel like it has to do with the suspension though but I could be wrong.. just wanted to see if anyone on here knew of any legit shops in the greater Sac area.

Thanks for your input though its appreciated

well that sucks lol. I never go to Sacramento, so I don't know any other shops.

honestly it's just suspension. You can probably take the wheel off and see if something is loose or a bolt is missing. If you can't do that or don't have the tools, any shop should easily be able to tell.

Just go on yelp and find any shop with a 4 or 5 star rating.

Did you re-align your car after installing the spc camber kit? If not you may probably want to re-align it.
