Default suspension sucks

I have a 90 ls with tokico blues shocks and skunk2 adjustable coilovers. It bounces a whole lot and im wondering if it is the shocks or the springs themself. I have only had this setup for a year now. If you have any reccomendations let me know. Thanks a lot

I'm riding on the blue's as well but with GC. I have no bouncy issues.

How low are you dropped, because if you are dropped too low it will bounce for sure with the blue tokicos. Any pics of your drop? I am lowered on omni coils and tokico illuminas about 2.5 inches all around and i dont bounce really, only on really wavy rounds with constant dips and rises.

I'm guessing it's becaues the Blues can't handle the spring rates of the Skunk2 coilovers.

It's probably a combination of the two.
The skunk2 coilover sleeves are not that stiff, then the tokico blues are similar to a stock shock with dampening not meant for lowered vehicles.

I'd recommend going with a different sping setup (spring, not coilover sleeve) that isn't less than an ince to an inch and half with your tokico blues
or
change out the tociko blues for illuminas, kyb agx's, or konis where you can adjust the dampening to minimize bounce.
