I have coilovers on my Celica (Dropzone). I like the handeling, like the look, I know what to do about the poping noise, BUT IS there anything I can do about the ride being so bouncy?? Anyone have input?? Thanks!

hmm, i am terrible at explaining ****, but here it goes:
your struts are meant to handle oem springs. they weren't designed for springs or coilovers, which tend to kick up the spring rates a bunch. the struts are capable of properly dampening the lower spring rate springs, but once you bump the spring rates up, the struts cant handle them anymore. basically, be sure to pair up your springs with the proper struts for the application. if you are looking for more aggressive springrates, don't skimp on the struts. bleh, everyone just buy the koni's and be happy with them  if you end up blowing them (which is pretty hard to do), you can send them away to a company to get them rebuilt and able to take 500-1500 custom spring rates! why you'd want that for daily driver...i dunno.
