Default Suspension Questions!!!!

Hey i got a 93 del sol , currently stock struts in the front, on skunk2 springs.
My ride is horrible , my car bounces rediculasly my ball joints are now shot.
Hard thuds on the smallest cracks in the road. My rear , i have the same setup and its not bad at all, i need some sugestions on the front end , i hear omni power springs and tokikos are a decent setup, decently stiff nice ride . Opinions. ( and yes i know if i buy a full suspension it will solve this , buy im currently in the process of a K swap )

i have a 93 sol as well, and im thinking of doing koni shocks with ground control coilovers...i'v heard its a great setup. also, i don't know much about tein, but they are very popular. i would just save up tho dude, and buy a full kit, you'll be satisfyed.

I have a tokicos set up and the ride is really good. Had it on my hatch for about 3 years now and rides just the same as the day i put it on.

tokicos are very good and easy on the wallet and heard good things about them.

Wanna spend some more money look into koni yellows.

i'd just buy a cheap replacement, maybe used oem shocks with aftermarket springs.. and then just buy a nice full suspension setup later. ur doin a k-swap, shouldnt skimp on and go mediocre suspension rite?

Keep the springs and get some aftermarket shocks. Your problem is that you're using the aftermarket springs on your stock shocks.

You can get away with this sometimes if your drop isn't too much. However, it sounds like your shocks are bad, so replace em with some koni's or tokico's. It should improve your ride significantly (and replace ALL the shocks or it will still ride funny).

I haven't really heard too many bad things about skunk2 springs, so they should be fine.
