I never had adjustable shocks before, so forgive the ignorance. The problem is that I bought SC1002s for the Pantera from Precision more than a year ago, and have never liked them, they’re way too soft. I’ll try to keep the story short, I’ve gotten new springs, and the shocks themselves have been sent across the Atlantic twice. They’re better now, when I got them first time they felt like my old Buick Riviera. And I actually had convinced myself that since I had harder springs than most on this forum and the shocks revalved and put on ”6” which I’m told is max hardness, that this was as good as it could get. So I told Precision it was OK...
But I’m not happy driving it. And the other day a friend drove behind me and afterwards said: ”What’s wrong with your car, it bounces all over”. So it's not as it should be. The original shocks were much better except one had a clonck sound.
So what’s wrong? Have I just bought too cheap inferior shocks? Is ”6” not the right setting, I tried ”3”, no difference I could feel. And how does that system work, there’s no stop between ”1” and ”6”, so can it be turned too far in or out?
I’m considering buying original shocks from Wilkinson, but on the other hand, shouldn’t what I have be able to give me a better/firmer ride than I have?
