Default Stano + Bilstein on all 4 corners installed!!

First off, thanks to Sam and his staff. Super quick shipping. 1994 Z28, needed new suspension bad!

Drop is an even 1.2" all round, sits level.

Ride is not harsh, the front is amazing....the rear is bouncy?? It feels like every bump is amplified and the back kind of kicks smoothly up and down. The rear just feels loose. Is this right?? The Bilsteins are revalved 1913 and 1914's. Thanks!

Whats your tire pressures? They have a BIG effect of ride feel.

My avatar has the Strano's on. I just took it out, man it is almost undrivable how bouncy the back is! The front is perfect, I'm wondering if the Bilstein's I got are no good. Would bad shocks allow the back end to just bounce all over the place? Thanks!

Who revalved them? I thought Sam stopped doing the revalved bilstiens?
Doesn't sound right, you may want to call him and talk to him.

Are you sure everything is mounted properly? I have the exact same setup (older style revalved rears) and I couldn't be happier with how it handles and rides. If you can't figure it out I'd give Sam a call, he is very helpful.
