lol I had burned springs my last stockies thats why I bought new coilovers with new shocs/struts oem did you know? I thought that would help but my ride got worst I guess I have to go raise my car until I get enough money for shocks/struts or should I just get springs neuspeed 2.25-2.5 inch drop, for $170 will that take bounciness away right with my stock shocks?

you dont know whats wrong?
dogg.. you lowered your car 2.5"(depending on the tires) with sleeved coilovers and expect to have a good ride???
just cause you have new struts dont mean it cant blow..
i would suggest...
1) raise it up a little
2) live with it
3) get konis
4) what i recommend.. get a true coilover kit opposed to a sleeved coilover[hr]

neuspeed race isnt going to be bouncy but its going to be stiff. there is also a chance that you have blown your shocks. if you have, nothing but new shocks will help the ride. but you have sleeved COILOVERS... why not just raise it up a little and see how you like it? if your happy about it after you raise it, then you wont have to worry about all this...

Rep Power: 394 you bought new stock shocks? why? how much were they?
its kinda hard to tell if they're blown or not when its on the car... check for oil or some type of liquid around the shocks, if you find some then the seals are leaking and the shocks is blown or is starting to blow.
you could also lean on one corner of the car, let it go and if the car bounces more then 3 times before it settles then its probably blown. do it to all 4 corners.. but ya doing it this way is kinda hard to tell.
but DUDE! try raising your car up a little.. people have been telling you that the whole past week.. the lower you drop the car, the more bouncy its going to be. raise it up a lil and you should be fine... if your not going to adjust it, why did you get coilovers...
