There you go, the shocks aren't your problem :!:

Strut tube shortening is done to gain bump/compression stroke on lowered vehicles.

You lowered your car, but didn't lower the shock relative to the body. You now have almost no bump travel and even the slightest bump will send your suspension into the bump stops. This, as you have noticed, sucks donkey-balls.

Basically, the T3 strut tube spacers suck in every way imaginable. Its something I've said over and over again.

You now have two options: shorten those struts, or if you don't believe me, first raise the car to original height (5cm or so) and come back and tell me how it handles. I can guarantee you that it will be a different car.

And if you dont believe me, send me the shocks, I'll be more then willing to drop them into my shortened cartridges and hand you the keys for a short ride. then again...maybe not, since you'll probably want them back :wink:
