folex, what year and mileage is your car?

I was wondering what I could do to the suspension to give it a less "bouncy" feel to it. Would getting some lowering springs/stiffer struts cure this?

 

get a set of '04 s2k springs. 10% softer in the rear.

 

yeah thats kinda why I was wondering about his car. If new the spacers as you mention could be an issue, or if he has a higher mileage car cold just be the worn shocks.

Either way I can't say aftermarket springs would get rid of the "bounce" as you put it. New or aftermarket shocks would be the way to go.

The Koni yellows are one way to go and offer some ride adjustment.

 

Springs are not your problem. If you put new springs on the old shocks, it will still bounce. Also, if the shocks are not worn out yet, they will be very quickly. If you replace the springs, you have to take off the shocks to do so so and vece versa. It only makes sense to do them both at the same time. The shocks are what suppress the suspension movements. Trust me, nothing is going to get rid of the bounce except for a new set of shocks. And if you are going to replace them, Koni's, IMO, are the only way to go. There are many of us on the board that have them and are very satisfied. Also, as someone already mentioned, they are adjustable.

 

Sound like a perfect candidate for a '04 suspension retrofit.

 

what is the year & mileage of your s2k?

 

It's an 00 but i only have about 7900 miles. I checked and there are no spring spacers in there. I just noticed that it's pretty bouncy and I'm making plans for some upgrades when it gets warmer. Thanx for your help right now I'm thinking Koni's with H&R springs.
Thanx,

bouncy eh? hmmm doesn't seem like enough miles to cause either shocks or springs to be worn out.

Any chance what you call a "bouncy" I might call a firm riding car that telegraphs a rough road throught the suspension. IOW a firm ride?? I guess the word bouncy could be used to describe the ride if driving on a rough road.

If you push on the front or rear bumper can you cet the car to "bounce" up and down??
