The stock front shocks are not valved for anything but OE springs. Call Sam @ Strano Performance and he can set you up with Bilsteins HDs that are re-valved specifically for whatever spring you are running. While you're at it, replace the rears with the Bilstein HDs as well.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Are you talking about a 'bounce' similar to that from worn out shocks or the 'bounce' similar to the ricer bounce. I see the ricer bounce all the time around here when those imports are lowered. Not quite sure what causes them to bounce like a go cart but it does look funny.

example- if im on the freeway and cruzn along the car doesnt feel as solid. it has bounce when i hit grooves in the road. when it hits a bump it doent just hit but has a nice lil bounce to it after.
