strut bar has nothing to do with bounce. do you know the spring rate on the aerospeeds? chances are that if they are at all stiff, youve blown the shocks and will have to replace them. the gr-2's are commonly considered an oem replacement, as with the tokico blues- they cant handle much more than stock spring rates for any significant length of time.

How about some ground control shocks?

ground controls are coilover sleeves, in simplest form they serve the function of a lowering spring, replacing the aerospeeds. it would be the shocks (struts if its on a 01 or newer i think the years are) thats blown and needs replacing.

My bad I meant Drop zone shocks not ground control. I dont know much about what some decent replacements would be. I thought I did but these GR-2's suck.
