Lowering Woes, And shock questions Options

[Coomer]

Before my car went into the body shop, I had some super high coilovers installed on it. They slammed the car so that it was probably about 2-2.5" below stock height, and the ride was really bouncy and bottomed out on everything. Last night I raised it up once I got the car out of the body shop, so now it's about stock height. The car doesn't bottom out, but the ride is still pretty bouncy though. It's definitely a lot bouncier than stock, even though it's about at stock height. It makes me wish that I hadn't lowered the car at all in the first place, at least not until I could afford new shocks to handle the drop.

I want to get some new shocks fairly soon, and I was considering Koni Yellows, so I did some research and found that they cost $300-400 just to install them! I was wondering if any shock is going to cost that much to install, or if it's just the Konis. Also, is there an alternative to the Koni Yellows that provides close to the same handling, but without adjustability(Or the higher price tag.) Thanks!

yeah, i can atest to the Ground Controls being a little bit better quality, that is what i'm on, i'm dropped all the way (about 2.5") and my car is not too bouncy..it does bottom out on somet things, but you learn how to keep it from doing that, such as slowing down 10mph, hitting the bump in the right spot, etc..i am still on stock struts, if anyone is wondering, and they seem to be holding up, other than a loud THUD when hitting a big bump, the car actually rides very very well.. worth the 400 i spent (free shipping cause my 3day shippiing took 4 days. i wouldn't have been mad, but it was the difference from a friday to a monday. ) ANYWAY...um...so yeah, my advice is, save up, but if you want somethin now, go w/ the cheapies...but save up or somethin...in the long run it'll be worth it...
