Default Crx bounces everywhere

Its all stock.. oh yea and on 17in rims..its just about stock height to..has no name springs in the front which are super stiff i can barely push the front down... but the back is the problem it has stock shocks but no name springs and sleeves. But if i push down the back a couple times it bounces.. like it literally bounces the wheels stay on the ground.. but while im driving the rear wheels literally feel like they are going to come off the ground and the no name sleeves are adjusted as low as they can be. Should i try to tighten up the back a little bit? Got the crx about a month ago and already sold my ej1 to fund it..

You have clown sized wheels and shitty blown suspension. Go figure.

Replace both of those and start actually maintaining your car.

Haha good answer thanks. And i'd rather have all stock.. But the maintaining part i bought it like this.. my ej1 was had stock suspension and drove awesome.. Thanks for the super quick reply to. But 1 question i just thought the front was stiff because the springs.. i am going to get a set of some stock honda rims within a week.. and when i get the stock wheels what should i replace.. my cousin has a set of springs that came off of his before he lowered it. Can i use them and just take off the sleeves in the back. Or do i need struts? Im thinking these struts still have some life left in them. Again thanks for that super fast response.

No, your shocks do not seem like they have any life on them. Based on your description.

Shocks, softer/more sensible springs.

Hopefully, you can find a stock setup.

Take your cousin's springs, and some OEM replacement shocks (tokico blues, kyb gr2, Koni STrT, etc) and put that all in your crx. Problem solved.

You need to replace shocks.
Big rims looks nice but usually they are heavy.
