Strut length, spring height, both have nothing to do with "bouncy" cars. With less distance to the bumpstops you need higher rates to prevent them from hitting all the time. With higher rates, you get a bouncy ride. That's the only thing that causes a bouncy ride. Just spring rates versus the weight of the car.Originally Posted by simontibbett
The whole purpose of shock/strut assemblies is to minimize bounce within certain parameters. Thus you can be slammed, have better rates, and not have a bouncy car. There are PLENTY of them out there.
Edit: Eibach isn't really much of a performance increase unless the spring rates of the car were too low to begin with. Harder springs don't neccessarily make the car handle better under near-the-edge-of-grip driving conditions. I shouldn't need to explain that to someone with "racing is life" as their status.
