I got my F&F Type 1's a couple of months ago. I know some will say that these weren't the best choice, but a great cheap alternative. Since then I have adjusted them a lot; raised front, lowered back, measure, raised back, lowered front, measure, and so on. and I just can't find the right feel. I know the low life is something to adjust to, and I'm pretty good at taking my time on driveways and steep hills and driving slow, etc. but when it comes to driving on some roads I feel like I am sitting on a trampoline, even while going a bit under the speed limit when no one's around. I know that living in Colorado doesn't help, although I live in the city and never go in the mountains, but there are some brutal streets in the city, too. I probably just answered my question with the last couple sentences, but I just feel like it's not supposed to be this uncomfortable of a ride. On smooth roads it is great of course, but when the bumps come I have to slow down drastically. I always find myself sitting straight up and am paranoid sometimes haha. I also see other Hondas on the road in town and there are a lot of slammed vehicles here for it being Colorado. I watch them and it doesn't seem like they bounce as much as I do. I feel like I'm on airbags in an impala or something lol.
Anyway, I am just wondering if there are any tricks of the trade or something I need to keep an eye on? Where do I need to make my adjustments? I understand the top 2 rings are where preload is adjusted, but the warranty card also says not to adjust preload because it's already preloaded out of the package. This is my first time dumping a car, so I'm still learning all about it. Any help is appreciated!
