Jazz too 'bouncy'

[hiko]

Hi Guys,

any recommendations to have better handling on a jazz? the little bugger feels so wobbly especially if someone is sitting in the back.

strut bars and sway bars for body roll, if that's what you're talking about

^^^ bigger wheels and tyres also make a huge improvement to ride quality

[curtis265]

bigger tyres but not bigger wheels..

hahahahaahaha

struts only improve turning right? i am asking about the car being to "bouncy" suspension is way too sensitive.

[curtis265]

struts will reduce body roll, so in a way, it's reducing the boucnyness.

Or are you talking about bouncy when driving on a bumpy road? Then you need shocks

[hiko]

i think shocks is more what i need then? yes the ride is very bouncy when driving in areas like parra road homebush.

any idea what i should be looking for when shopping for shocks?

[Lukey]

are you lowered? if so wat on?

[cyber_scriber]

It sounds like you're talking about lack of ride quality.

Lower your tyre pressures.

Fit smaller rims with a more compliant and higher profile tyre.

my jazz is currently on stock 15" alloy rims and stock suspension. i normally keep 34psi rears and 32 fronts. what do you guys recommend?

I'm not from sydney so i can't understand the road you're describing.

If you get shocks (or springs) (or coils) it'll just make it more uncomfortable, but it won't bounce
