I currently have eibach pro lowering springs on my prelude. I replaced both of my front struts about 6 months apart then they both went out again. The front end of my car now seems loose and bounces up and down realy easily.
Heres my question.
I want to get an aftermarket front bumper but my car is too low and the ride sucks. What kind of springs/struts should I get to give me a good ride height and ride?
I also have 18 wheels. If I get 17 with a higher profile tire would that help the ride of my car?
Thanks
Bryan

Some nice Ground Controls Coilovers you can adjust the ride height up or down you may want to check your bolts and make sure everything is tight also check your steering nuckles make sure they have no play in them you dont want one of them to come off when your flying down the road!!!

bleh you just stated your own problem...shocks.
If youve blown your shocks again then of course your ride will be bouncy they are the component that stops the spring from oscillating (bouncing up and down). Dont just go out and buy a new OEM shock they are not valved for a lowered car nor are the rods the correct length for extreme lowering.
If you want to do it right go and buy a set of aftermarket shocks like Tockicos or Konis.

I was going to get some tokicos after my struts blew the first time but my dad went to discount autoparts and got some crappy ones before I could say anything. So im stuck now until these blow. Then i will get better ones.
