i lowered my integra about a year ago, and i used an off brand ebay kit. they suck bad, my integra is soooo bouncy ....
what do i do?
what brand will make it ride better..i will be selling this car soon, so i do not want to sink money into it......

take it back to stock IMO..u will have a wider selection of pple who wana buy it. not only older pple but most tuners would rather a stock car opposed to an already modded car

word to your mom

just a slight correction:

tuners with money would rather have a stock car to build from. :goodjob:

LEARN ENGLISH!!!

anyways, if you want less bounce, buy nicer shocks. i reccomend koni, but tokico or kyb will work. softer spring rates will help a little bit, but then you risk bottoming out.

its all about spring rates.

Im guessing you prob didnt replace your struts either when you did the coilovers.

If you are slammed on the ground you have almost no suspension travel and that will cause the "bouncy ride"

raise the car up, and you should see a difference

You could just buy different rate springs from Eibach and put them on the sleeves.

But I see you went back stock.

your shocks are shot by now shocks stop the bounce you can blow a stock shock just by lowering the tire to the fender just to see what it would look like
