Shocks slow the rate of compression and rebound Posted by Gerry [Email] (#1840) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gerry) on Tue, 29 May 2001 12:29:43 In Reply to: Busted oil pan on 9-3 with lowering spring..., Eric B, Mon, 28 May 2001 19:11:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
but do not affect the ability to compress or height of the car. If you hit a bump, compressed the springs, and then fell onto a rise in the road, then I don't think shocks would have mattered. In fact, a slower rebound would have been worse. If, otoh, you just hit something high on a flat road, then your lowered springs are to blame. Shocks might have slowed the rate of compression, and maybe missed the bumps, but if it was that bad they probably would not have saved you anyway.
