I doubt it will completly eliminate it, but they should help quite a bit.

Skunk2's suspension parts aren't known for their ride quality.

I have skunk2 springs, mine are coil over sleeves, with stock shocks. The ride is horrendous. Bumpy as f$%#. It's under my understanding that aftermarket shocks will help, but I don't know how much.

I'm planning on getting shocks first and see how it feels. If it doesn't do the trick I'll be happy buying some good springs with lower rates.

the bounce is mainly in the frotn rear not bad now if i got some koni yellows for the front would that be bad for balance of the car i know they would handle the spring rate
