Pretty sure Scoob vs M3 shouldn't matter, the effective spring rate on the scoob is the same. I'm thinking external factors like tires/pressures, dead bushings, possibly nitrogen charge in the shocks themselves. I'm hoping it's not the shocks.
Didn't fix it, tried all settings multiple times. It just makes it stiffer but does nothing for the bounce.Comment

True, that's why I said effective spring rates (spring rate seen by the wheel). Many other Subarus run coilovers (and ASTs, for that matter) without a bouncy ride, and my legacy is not different suspension geometry-wise to the more common WRX/Imprezas. That's why I'm thinking something else is the problem. The bounce is coming from the rear, and adjusting ride height and damping didn't change anything....so I think it's either something else like tires/pressures/bushings, or highly unlikely but incorrect nitrogen pressure in the shock. I'd be surprised if the N2 pressure was the issue.
Process of elimination's fun.Comment

No, that is fixed with changing damper settings. My issue (I'll take you for a ride if you want) is that the car is quite literally bouncing down the road and that the shocks aren't controlling it. Car feels like a pogo stick driving down a pretty flat road (like Folsom). It doesn't feel underdamped like an old Caddy or Suburban, it feels bouncy.Comment

Random Question
Can I just use some silicon to seal a diff back up or do I need to get a gasket?

Shipping is 3x the price of the product. That is stupid.

In reference to david's hopping subaru dilemma, I would have to say that the pogo-stick is a pretty accurate description of what the car feels like.89 325i (Sold)
