I just recharged the nitrogen in my Penske 8983 rear shock I bought in a group buy a couple years ago. I had K&G replace the innards of the front at the same time. So I have basically new suspension bits.
My question is whether any of you have experience with suspension that at slow speeds (30 mph or less) feels a little bouncy on relatively smooth pavement, but is not too bad for holding a line around a curve at speed. In brief, the current setup is OK for higher speeds, but at slow speeds seems sensitive to roadway harmonics set up by undulations in pavement.
Not looking for feedback on precise click settings, but would like to know where I might start to improve my setup to eliminate the bouncy feel at low speed while retaining the fairly decent feel at higher speed. Not sure if I'm looking at changes to compression or rebound front or rear. Sag is set up to be in the sweet spot for front and rear, so I think preload settings are OK.
Any help from the suspension gurus would be very appreciated. Taking a longish trip this weekend with my wife, and would like to have some ideas to consider.
