Is there a way to stiffen my shocks (like change springs?)
I have Bilstein B14 PSS coilover kit but sometimes on roads where there is a dips it seems like the car isn't stiff enough to not dip as well so I end up scrapping my lip badly.
I have a new lip inbound and before installing it I was wondering if there is any way to maybe just change springs or if anyone has recommendations. |

Looks like you have endless possibilities through Swift:

If you stiffen the shock it slows down the rebound therefore the spring does not have time to expand meaning your car will fall into the dip because the springs is still under the state of slow compression

Oh, so I would theoretically need stiffer struts then? I thought the spring would not allow the car to dip and get closer to the ground.
