Default Suspension Comfort?

ok, so i bought some Steeda Lowering springs, and it dropped my car pretty damn low.. When i drive it and go over bumps/ small dips in the road, the car seems to Bounce and have a "springy" feeling to it.. How can i stop this/fix it?[/align]

Keep in mind that when you get the bounce under control you'll probably have a very harsh ride. Lowering the car reduces the available suspension travel, however the weight of the car stays the same so the only way to keep things under control is to stiffen everything. [/align][/align]Your lowering springs have a higher spring rate than the OEM springs, and the only way to dampen the bounce is with "stiffer" shocks--all this = a harsher ride and that's just the way it is...[/align]

I'd highly recommend Tokico shocks and struts .. Illumina series are a good buy and are quality shocks ..
