Those with H&R, does the rear bottom out?

The rear seems to be bottoming out quite often. Even on medium sized potholes there is bottoming out. Before the H&R/KYBs, with the stock shocks/springs it would take a very large potholes for the car to bottom out.

Anyone else have this problem?

BTW, the front never bottoms out and overall ride quality is great even on small bumps.

H&R springs with KYB struts?



You shouldn't be bottoming out

If it were my car I would trim the rubber bump stops if that is possible

did you put the bump stop back?



my kyb/h&r setup is pretty stiff and i never bottom out. when i was installing them, even with a spring compressor i had a hard time putting the strut mount back because the spring was really hard to compress.

i have H&R lowering springs with stick shocks and o-sulee spring cushions. i don't bottom out but it may be due to the spring cushions..
