neuspeed sport ride question

i bought some neuspeed sports from a member on this site a while ago and put them on
and the ride is a heelluva lot better but

it seems to bounce more when i hit bumps in the road

is that normal? is the only way to stiffen it get new shocks?

and should i get a camber with my 15 alloys?

let me know

cheers

it will bounce unless you get aftermarket shocks. Neuspeeds give more stress on stock shocks than some other springs. Get some konis or full coilovers and it will help you out. Also I have a camber kit with my 15's. It doesnt matter what tire size you have, the camber kit will help with tire wear.

what did you have before? you say the ride is better but yet it bounces more. If it bounces more, wouldnt that mean it rides worse?
Anyways ya new shocks would help the bounce. but then right now koni's are the only ones out and they're kinda pricey.

Whether you need a camber kit or not depends on the drop(more specifically your alignment specs), not the tire size. I personally dont think its really necessary with sports. Thats just my opinion tho, some places offer free alignment checks and they can tell you if you need one or not. If its out of spec, you need it. if it isnt, you dont.

7gen03 is an unknown quantity at this point
It bounces cause the you have drastically changed the spring rate to shock valving. The nuespeed spring is over powering the strut/shock
so as a result you get "ricer Bounce" its normal.
