Re: Coil Over Shock Absorbers

Spring suspensions and pneumatic wheels will reduce impact, but cause bouncing. Which might be an issue, or might just be fun to watch

Shock absorbers dampen the bounce. Cars and most motorcycles have springs and shock absorbers.

Here is an excellent video showing the difference between springs and shock absorbers: https://youtu.be/QrQMY8eDDL4
