A few more questions in my never-ending suspension saga
Ok here goes...again. I have a 89 CRX DX lowered 2" with Neuspeed sport springs and Monroe gas shocks. I had a camber kit installed also, now the ride is really bouncy. Ok now for my questions.
1. My bro installed the springs, is there a chance he could have the springs on backwards? Like the fronts on the back and vice versa. They weren't marked as to which spring went where. Are they marked to show where to put them?
2. If I cut the bumpstops on the Monroe shocks, will this eliminate the bouncing?
3. If the first 2 options don't work, will buying some Tokico blues stop the bouncing? Also, I'm lowered 2" and if I buy the Tokicos, they won't blow out will they?
Sorry if these questions seem stupid, but I've heard every possible opinion as to what is causing the bouncing. Please help.

they will be bouncy cause you basically have OE replacemtn shocks(monroes).. also you have to cut your bumpstops in HALF when you lower your car.. that should get rid of some of the bounciness.
but besides that not having aftermarket performance shocks with lowered coilovers/springs is going to give you a bouncy ride. try cutting the bump stops first.
as for the blues, ugh some say they are good some say they arent. there not meant to be slammed or lowered on THAT much. what i would just do is buy 2 front sets first of KYB AGXs and then buy the back sets later.
as for me i'm going to be on stock shocks(who knows how old they are) slammed with APC coilovers as a temporary POSITIVE camber solution. but the following week i will be buying AGXs(fronts for now) and putting them on. and i'll be ditching the APCs for Skunk2 or GC.
