Default Suspension problem. please help

I have kyb agx struts and roku springs (offbrand) and my front end recently feels like its hitting to hard.
my next step is to replace the springs, but could that be the problem?

it was doing the same before my new struts.

What do you mean hitting too hard? AGX are not made for anything more than 1.5 lowering. And get some real springs. AGX are a rough ride when lowered too much because they are basically out of travel at that point. Koni/GC is a good setup. You get what you pay for.

You bounce around more dangerously if your suspension is too stiff for the road condition. His cabin can travel quite some distance but I can put my money on that fact that his suspension will keep all four of his tire surface on the road opose to a stiff suspension.

Don't get me wrong, stiff is not bad. Some people do not build their suspension for track, they have daily commute cars and the road is not always perfect.

And his setup is not bouncy, I wonder what your definition of "bouncy" is.
