New rear suspension - not working

[aquickv6]

Moog stock replacement springs, new poly bushings, comp eng 50/50 shocks and you cant push the back of the car down. Very very stiff. Ride height is ok but extremely rough ride. Is this normal?

Sounds like the control arms may be bound up. With the car on jack stands and weight on rear end, loosen the control arm bolts some.

You don't want to torque poly bushings to OEM specs.
Mine are at 50ft lbs. Any more they started to bind up.
Also use plenty of lube. They need to rotate in their shell.

I didn't think about the control arm bolts. Thank you very much!
