Default I have to stop bouncing..... PLEASE HELP! Shocks/Struts???

I have a set of Eibach Sportline springs on my 98 Cobra right now and my car is pretty rough. I am not looking to do much more drag racing or Auto-X or anything like that in the near future. I just want my ride to be better. What shocks/struts will be the best just to smooth out my ride?

I have heard very good things about the Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks/Struts, but I don't know if they are good for racing or good on the ride... I have also heard good things about the TOKICO shocks/struts. I am not needing them for race, so is the adjustable really necessary?

Bottom line.... I JUST WANT MY CAR TO RIDE BETTER!!!!!!!!! I will spend the money I need to for it to ride close to stock and look the way it is now! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Take the stickers off your car and that will reduce the weight enough to stop the bounce.

yeah, i've been hearing good things of illumina and bilstein. tokico is illumina without the adjustibility so there is a start if your worried about cost.
