I bought some green egay coil springs. I didn't change the struts ( i think theyre originals, lol). Now my car bounces all over the place. any one have a suggestion on what brand of struts will stop the bounce of egay springs? If I had the money, i would have got some namebrand coilovers but i'm broke right now.

there is your problem right there. There is no cure for cheap parts. and all you got out of buying those is less money for good suspension.

You bought stiffer springs and now your suspension is underdamped, causing your vehicle to bounce in ride.

There is no "set in stone" damper that will solve your boucing, because we don't know your spring rates or vehicle weight and weight distribution.

A good place to start would be KYB AGX or Koni Yellows. The Koni Yellows are more involving to install, but are adjustable and are a better damper.
