Firstly, what type of shocks did you use and did you cut the springs?

[Zeriam]

well i used to jack up the car and move the spring with my hand this is easy to do if u cut the spring already

[mikeae91corolla]

how do i know when it set properly

[trdboy]

zeriam if u coulda move the spring with ur hand then there is evidently a play there and that means that spring wasnt providing much tension, u have any warranty on them shocks if they were not up to scratch together with this terrible road they probably shot already, this happened to me a while back with the back shocks and i got it changed

hmm i suspect the problem ur having is that the spring is 2 big for the shockbody my problem went away after i cut the spring
