civichx81: Try jacking your car up to check if there're any fluid on your shocks/struts. Did you just feel the bounciness or has it been like that since youve had your sportlines? If you've just felt the bouciness, I'm pretty sure your shocks are blown.


Mine is still good after a year.

stock suspension is softer so it should be more easy to push down. and i think after 7 months or so, my shocks are starting to go with neuspeed sports as well. i tried the bouncing thing and its hard to tell if its blown. but ya check for any fluid around the shock... i wouldnt be surprised if your shocks were blown. i'm planning on riding it out will tokicos come out cause 550 is way too damn much
you can jack the car off the ground and make sure you get each tire off the the ground. The ride will better for a day or less. Its cheap and you get excercise. other than that, its time for some new struts.
