I just got my sportlines on, an for starters yes my shocks are blown, an no camberkit yet. But when I turn sharply an hard to the left the car just like bounces, its like wheel hop on a front wheel drive car. When I turn to the right I have no problems, only the left. Anyone know what could cause this massive wheelhop(if thats what it is just feels like it).Thanks

you are underestimating the power of blown shocks. Thats what it is.

I went to a drift event recently and later on in the event when i was drifting, the car would vibrate/shake very hard. i figured this was because the tires were very hot and going bald, and they had pretty high psi and were just acting wierd. i hope this is the case? you got me scared talking about blown shocks :/

I would definitely check out the blown struts, but if you are installing new ones, do all your bushings too.

before i put agxs on my car, i was experiencing something like what you guys are talking about. I would describe it as a shudder when I was taking a corner at a fast pace. It felt like the wheels were hopping and making a horrible noise. Turns out it was one blown shock on the right rear of my car.
