Default Which one should I change?

I have Skunk2 coilovers and tokiko blues. The ride is bouncy.... my question is this, which should i change? some say its the coilovers, other say it the blues.... a buddy of mine has the coilovers and stock springs and its bouncy but not as bad as mine. another buddy has the blues with eibachs and his ride doesnt seem bouncy at all.. have a 1.5 inch drop.

getting old, maybe i should buy a lexus.... ha ha ha.


anyways, any help appreciated....

your Coilovers make it bouncy, but the Tokico blues, people say, is one of the worst out there...If you just want a smoother ride, I suggest replace your coilovers.

its both actually....the shocks can't dampen the stiff springs quick enough so the ride is bouncy.

if you change the springs to eibach, you must also get a softer spring rate.

personally i would get some koni yellow shocks to try and solve the problem. i know they are expensive, but you might be able to find some used one for sale...
