Default car handling bad after...

guys ever since an accidnet my cars handling has changed. the car is bumpier, bounces a bit more and when i take turns it jsut boucnes a lot more. I took it to spugen, they said the car is perfect, nothing seems wrong. took it for a spin said it was ok but the stiffness was too stiff (interseting bc it was nevre an issue before) so he lowered it to 10 F adn 11 R adn its bouncier on turns and seems as if the car just wants to give out asap when its a hard quick turn. Before i woudl feel the car stuck to the ground and once it wanted to, I was able to feel it, now it just slidess and the ass keeps wanting to slide.

I have Tein RA's and for some reason the RIGht REAR is about 1/4" higher then the rest. so i got to adjust that. anyone know why my car is acting this way?

Did you have your suspension when you had the accident? Or get it after?

Could it be possible that your suspension has been damaged? Blown shocks?

I've had a blown shock that look perfectly good on the outside. It depends on how it's blown. In this case, the car had been lowered too much and the piston was damaged because it bottomed out. Didn't hurt the upper seal so, it didn't leak.
