blown shocks

i think my shocks are now blown because my ride is just getting worse and well i've ran into financial problems and my shocks have to be put on hold in the meantime. i wanted to know that if i switch back to stock will my car still be ride the same as having my springs on now? i currently have goldlines and it is dropped about 1.75" or more and i have just about fed up with my ride quality. i want all the bouncing to go away like i am right now and thought that if i just put the stock springs back on it would reduce it but if it is just going to be the same as it is now then i might as well put up with it.

switching to ur stock springs wont make the problem completely go away, ull still be bottoming out the struts cuz theyre blown...if and when u do get money for struts don't go OEM get the tokicos instead for less than $400 a set its cheaper than stock and much better....OEM front strut was like $128 a piece

I ordered my shocks first, waiting on them, tuesday ordering goldlines. You can get tokicos from streetlevelperformance for 370 shipped w/front camber included. not a bad deal. You can also get them on ebay for 337 shipped, but they were out of stock anyways. should have more though

I just ordered my shocks from ebay. I can't wait to get them on my car because I've been riding on blown shocks for way too long. They still have them on ebay. 299 + 30 for shipping.
