I apologize in advance !
Please forgive me for posting yet another suspension question. I've searched like crazy and it seems tokiko is what I want...
Hopefully this will be one of my last threads on the subject.
anyhow, I have an 05 sedan ... I'm either going to put the
Tokiko blues on Stock Springs
-or-
Tokiko blues on Eibach Prokit
I know if I do both replacements it's best to do at one time. But I don't want to put on springs if all I need is shocks to get rid of my bouncy ride. I guess i can't find a softer setup than stock so I figure, "if you can't beat em join em" and get something a tad stiffer(shocks that is). But if I need springs and shocks to get a nice ride I don't want to have to do this twice... I really don't want to lower my ride though, as I'm leary of it. (lower concerns me as far as servicing the car under warranty and also b/c I'm not sure if the back will go lower than the front since I have a 4dr)
If all you were trying to do was stiffen up to get the bounce out, which of the 2 would be a better combo ?
thanks again guys,
Mitzysman

Springs are designed to bounce. Shocks are designed to keep the car from resonating (bouncing to infinity). Shocks alone will fix the bounce issue.
The only real issue is there as no point to open a new thread to ask the same question again.
