blown shocks???
i just slapped on a set of maxspeed coilovers on my tokico blue front struts. before the swap of coilovers my suspension was stiff as rock. After a few days of the maxspeed on my car now it's bouncy as hell. Can't tell if the struts are blown or just the coilovers just being bouncy???

Most likely the coilovers, the spring rates are probably too high. Seeing as theyre Maxspeed coilovers, im pretty sure thats the problem. That, or maybe you lowered it way too low...

even when it raised a lil, it was still bouncy after the few days, struts also sound like there bottoming out.

Re: blown shocks??? (Bizarre)
Anytime you change your spring rates, you will need to make sure your shocks can provide the propper damping. If you up your sping rate and don't up your damping of the shocks, then it's going to be bouncy and handle like crap.
