super bouncy coilovers
 
I started out with the arospeed coilovers which were pretty poor and really bouncy. I changed the springs and kept the coilover system with a bigger spring. That helped out a little bit but its still bouncy. I am still running the stock struts. Would that be the problem, do the adjustable struts help out with the bounciness? Has anyone had this problem or do I keep ketting shitty springs. My wifes about to kill me.

so you still have arospeeds? you just changed the springs?
here's why its bouncy
1) you bought a peice of shit company
2) you got sleeved coilovers
3) most importantly, your still using stock shocks.
if you dont want to buy new shocks just get some lowering springs. but ya getting konis(the only aftermarket shock available) and that should solve most of your problems.. but then again your still riding on peice of shit equipment, i'd just change the arospeeds. whether you should get koni's as well is up to you

well, i still have the arospeed adjuster sleeve and spring perch but i trashed the springs, i went to a local shop and ordered some "spring technology" springs that do help alot.....but they are still real bouncy on highways and hard on big bumps. So the konis will help cushion bumps and help with the bounciness? Will they make a big improvement (i know you dont know exactly how bumpy my ride but at 80mph, the back end wants to almost leave the ground)
Where is the best place to get konis?

Those kind of coilovers will be bouncy regardless. Like Mr. Suspension Mod said, replace the struts. That does help.

just wondering, how much did you get the spring tech springs for?
if its really really badd i say just get new springs as well as new shocks.
if its not too bad, koni's should work just fine...
just remember you have cheap springs/coilovers with good shocks and expect to have a good ride. same goes vice versa... if you want a good ride, its recommended both be good and not once crappy, one good.

well, the spring tech springs were 50 per spring but that was just the spring price. The front springs are rated @ 400 lbs and the rear springs are rated 300 lbs. Are those the right pound rating? I will end up getting the koni tho....right now, i got the stock front suspension back on and im waiting to get the koni b4 I go back. Anyone know where I can get a deal on the koni's?

kinda sounds about right.. i know goldlines are around 300lbs

Go to tornactive.com to get the Konis.
