O.k guys i just put in some H&R SuperSport springs with all new poly isolators in my car yesterday, i went for a drive and the ride quality was not what i expected it to be compared to the ride quality from my stock springs these make the car bounce up and down alot i could feel everything on the road i don't know if that's normal cause its my 1st car i put lowering springs in. What do u guys think?

I still have the stock shocks and struts. What would work good with the springs i just got on to eliminate most of all that bouncing i have right now, I'm kind of on a budget from the springs and installations.

more likely, but dont expect your car to ride like a dream, once you lowered your car you just sacrifice the ride. unless you get a good set of struts-schoks.

Most aftermarket springs are between 10% and 25% stiffer, depending on manufacturer. If you get aftermarket struts and shocks, that should help the ride. H&R springs ride better than most, I think. The shocks listed in this thread will work great with your combo, or you could call H&R and see what they recommend with their springs.

H&R website recommends performance shocks, but Super Sport spring rate is pretty mild, so something cheap will do you just fine.

I had KYB Adjustables on my car when I bought it. And I think supersport spings...

I upgraded to Koni Double Adjustable Yellow Struts and Koni Yellow Adjustable Shocks with sportlines.

Night+Day difference. Do it right the first time.

Koni DA are just a wee bit over kill for his application. That's the kind of shock you want to run with high spring rate coilovers. What probably made the most difference in your case is the spring rate, because you went from a mild performance spring to a spring with HUGE progressive rate which starts near stock at zero compression.

aftermarket struts and shocks will definitely solve your problem. I am impressed with how well my car rides every time I drive it for how low it is, part of what makes H&R so great imo.
