Bilstein rear shocks "pogo"
 
I own SPF 2345 and I feel that the rear suspension has too much rebound. It kinda "pogos" over dips in the road and is more noticeable at highway speeds. Anyone else notice this and is there a way to adjust the rebound on these shocks? Maybe a stiffer spring would help?

thanks

Hi lloyds!
I have been thinking the same thing. The front feels good but the back needs some help. I was going to try putting a spring rubber in the rear springs to see if that does anything. Thinking, less compression may give less rebound?
What do you think?

I really don't know. I'm going to give Olthoff a call.

What about reducing the preload? You will need some shock wrenches to do this, but I think it might help.

Please tell me more. Are you just talking about how far compressed the spring is at rest (i.e. to set ride height)?

yes. it sounds like the resting compression rate on the spring might be too much.
