GSR vs SI Springs -Difference?
i have eibach lowering springs (came on car) and i want to put stock ones on instead mine are too bouncy and way to rought on bumps in road at slow speed so i found a set of stock ones for both gsr & si i know they are intechangable but From the factory are the EXACTLY the same or just slightly different? (ride height, ride quality,ect.) and is it noticable how much it raises the car (wheel gap wise)
here it is now

Typical non-tech responses.
Those eibachs have nothing to do with the car being bouncy. The lowering springs blew your stock shocks. Switching springs isnt going to make the bounciness any better. You need new shocks man. The car isn't rice, that WW kit actually would look great with some bigger wheels, it just looks out of balance now.

If you are going to put aftermarket springs on your car you have to buy aftermarket struts, if you don't you are going to have a crappy ride, just get some new struts and you'll be ok.
I am not sure about the spring rates, but any time you put on lowering springs on a stock strut you tend to mess it up, because they are not designed to handle lowering springs,
By the way, Killer body kit!!! Sssswwwwwwwweeeeeeetttttttttttt

Try the bounce test. Press down as hard as you can on a corner of the car. If it does more than just rise up slowly, i.e. bounces, you prob have blown shocks.

I know this doesn't answer your question... but like everyone else, I'd say your shocks are blown. If you revert back to stock, your car will sit 1-2 inches higher. And even with the stock springs, you'll still experience a "bouncy" ride unless you replace the shocks.
Get a new set of shocks and keep the eibach's. Tokico or KYB both make affordable shocks. If cost doesnt mater, Koni Yellow's are best IMO.
btw - nice ride!
