Just had Tokico premium performance shocks, and struts installed on car. Front struts great, but rear shocks are incredibly bouncy. Has anyone experienced this problem?

i am running tokico's and i think they are designed like that for drag race launching. Do you still have your rear sway bar and stock springs? hotwheels of insanemustangs

Yes I have stock sway bar, but have motorsport springs. Also have upper and lower control arms with no quads. If you push down on the car it slowly rises.

that sounds right to me, mine does the same.......my last 60' was a 1.58.......have you had a chance to go to a track or just bust off a quarter mile somewhere? i bet you will find that the way the car moves the wieght to the back faster, will increase your 60' time's...........

They were just installed last week. Since then the car has been in the shop getting a new tranny, and clutch. I've also been told that when you upgrade your upper/lower control arms you don't need quad shocks. BS major wheel hop need to know quads to put on car?

Maybe a real suspension guru will step in, but wheel hop isn't just about quads/no quads, there is also a solution in adjusting shocks/springs/pinion angle etc.
