Default Suspension Problem

Hi, i have a 95 honda accord lowered on coilover sleeves, i got pulled over by the cops today and he stated my car was to bouncy in the rear, i was wondering if i replace the shocks if that would stop the car from bouncing as much as it does now?

Well, when the back end is up in the air I can push the whole wheel assembly up....like the shock has no pressure
The cop says if I don't have it fixed in a week, he will tow my car away. So I need to get fixed asap.
Are gabriel shocks any good? I need to fix it quick and kind of cheap don't have a lot of cash
Any ideas? Thanks

I got the sleeves as a gift....and its on stock shocks....I actually priced monroe shocks they are $56 a piece with lifetime warranty.
All I know the sleeves are black and the spring is blue

the monroe shocks are going to be oem replacements... they're not going to do anything. Just bite the bullet and get tokico illuminas; if you wana play you gotta pay.

Bouncy is underdamped. You need more shock damping (or less spring rate) to stop the bounce.

Bilstein Sport/HD, KYB AGX, Tokico Illumina, etc...

foo u cant have super stiff stings and loose shocks it will bounce, monroe=oem=loose

you can however have stiff shocks and loose oem springs

you can have adjustable shocks that would be the best bet!
