Maybe problem with TRD shock absorber and springs

[Mattolo]

A thing , but your Ae86 with Trd shock absorber, bounce a little if you push it?

I don't have trd , i have D2 coilovers.
You can find alot of info on trd suspensions on google.

My car is on the hardest setting. Even with 3 people pushing on it, you can't make it bounce.

It may be sitting on the bump stops in the back and the front may have run out of damper travel.

I have 8/6 springs, and HTS dampers. YES, my suspension is hard. NO, it doesnt bounce, even one bit!

OEM (factory) springs are something like 1.9/2.0kg/mm front/rear. You
probably have the classic "drift" springs of 8.0/6.0kg/mm. I have about
3.2/3.0kg/mm and that is acceptable for rough roads.

At a guess I would say 4.5/4.0kg/mm is about the limit for rough roads
if you have to drive more than a km or two. Of course, there are people
who will say that 8/6 is comfortable.... So you either have to get used
to your teeth rattling, or look for some softer springs.

I must unmount and see which kind of springs I have.

Before you unmount them check as above the bumpstops.
Once they are unmounted you can use this calculator to work out the approximate rate of the spring if it is not obvious.

Just checked my d2 specs. I have 7.4kg/mm in the front and rear is 6.2kg/mm .
