Default Tein Flex or Tein SS or illuminas/stech or koni yellows/gc

Basically Im just looking for something that rides a lot smoother and less bouncy than my current K-Sport Coilovers.

How close to a stock-like ride can you get these 3 setups??
the ride is starting to kill me especially with all the stupid construction going on, it bounces so much and if im pushing my car hard I hit a bump and come really close to over revving, and ive over revved a couple times because of it and would rather it not happen again
even if the ride isnt smooth like stock, just something thats not bouncy...

thanks guys.

so that's a negative for the K-sports. Did you go custom or default spring rates? Also, who did you order it from and how long ago do you have it if you don't mind telling. thanks and goodluck with the future setup.

I have TEIN ss on my 93 hatch and the ride is really smooth...... not really bouncy at all.

Koni yellows with ots GC rates would suit your needs. Then you could get a spare set of springs for track-rate days. If you didn't need the adjustability of the GCs for corner weighting or height or otherwise, Koni yellows with H&R sport springs would be good.
