i was wondering what is the best spring strut combo i have bee told tokico and sprint, but some say the sprint springs are too soft and i want my car to be kinda bouncy but i want a low drop i know some of you guys have seen some of the newer accords kinda bounce when they ride i like that look and wanted to know which spring and strut combo would allow this look.
flipping off cops isnt a good thing?

I have eibachs prokit with tokicos. The board frowns on this setup but I ma very happy with it. I ve been in a car with sprints and KYB's (actually Im buying it) but it need different struts. Im hoping for the Konis but well see. Ive heard the Ground controls and Tokicos are kinda harsh. Id wait for Jim to answer first though. Hes the suspension GOD around these parts.
If it were me, id start with a ride height (see sticky link at top of suspnsion forum) aand go form there.

you WANT the car to bounce,.............whoa,.................ok. Well that won't be to hard, jeez I can even tell you from good, better and best for a bouncing setup. Who told you the springs were soft? Their spring rates tell a different story front350 to 425. rear225 to 300 compair that to stock front 211 rear 117. Their not soft at all, yes their progressive, but their not soft.
Sprints on tokico's will bounce
Springs on GR-2's or stock struts will bounce more (but you'll be stressing the GR-2's more since thier oem valved and the likely wear quickly for that.
If you want allot of bounce
Ground-Control's and tokico's
DropZone's and tokico's will bounce more.
You like how a car LOOKS bouncing down the road, kinda weird, I spend most all my time advising how that's a very bad thing, I can't stand the, bump then bounce, bump-bounce, bump-bounce, and you want that, yikes. I feel sorry for a lowered car's owner when I know it has bounce
think i will just go with sprint and tokicos any ideas where to get then brand new for cheap
