had that before, you shocks are blowns thats why its bumpy, get kyb agx and it will be much better, but imo get rid of cheap sleeves, and get the springs better, of course you still need new shocks

yeah the shocks are blown, i can only afford 1 thing right now. would i be better off getting some ground control coilover sleeves and slap them on with the stock shocks, then get the koni shocks? or will this also cause problems on the coilovers since they will not be on the koni shocks for a while?

Do you have the stock springs?

Because buying a set of Konis and installing the stock springs on them would be a much better - and safer - idea than putting new Ground Control coilovers on a set of already blown dampers.

If you can only afford to do one thing, do that. Beggars can't be choosers.

get the shocks you want first and put them with stock oem springs, and after you save money get the new springs. you might damage other suspension parts when driving with blown shocks.
