Koni/gc sleeve/ride height/comfort question
So I got a set of koni yellows and gc's a while back. I had created another thread asking about the sleeve height, they are very short sleeves. I found a thread before where grumblemarc had posted a picture of some sleeves he got that were supposedly for honda/acura, and mine look identical although I can't find the thread currently. Anyway, I got everything installed, the rears were good and the shorter sleeve didnt' seem to be a problem, I installed the fronts though and now the car is very very bouncy. I think the problem is the short sleeve making the car sit very low but I just wanted to confirm before I buy a set of sleeves. Currently the rates on the car are 375/430.
EDIT: N/M found pics, they look like this:

Bouncy is under damped. If it's actually bouncy, turn the shock stiffer until it is no longer bouncy.
However, if you're so low that you're sitting on the bumpstops, you might not be able to crank them up enough to correct it. In which case, you'll need to find a way to bring the total functional spring rate back down to a level the shocks can control (raising the car being the easiest).
