Tokico Strut Install

Hoping to install my struts this weekend if i have enough time. But...the question is a friend of mine told me just installing the Tokico Blues without after market springs (i wil lbe using stock springs for a while) will make the car very bouncy. Do you guys think it will? I dont want to install them yet if there going to be super bouncy. Thanks for any help in advance hopefully you guys will agree with me in thinking it wont cause a problem instead of my friend so i can go ahead and put them on.

somebody has some slapping to hand out...

stiffer springs are recommended so they mesh with the stiffer shocks, but stock springs should be ok with the oem springs, it will be stiffer in respect to the ammount of bounce you get.

and BTW- kick your friend in the shins a few times, and then tell him that only blown out struts will cause the uber bouncyness!

go ahead and put them in, ride for a mile or 2, then recheck your strut rod bolt (the center bolt in the strut cap) and tighten it - its from the seating of the springs. and if you dont like them, put them on ebay, someone will prolly buy them!


also -- j.jx10^5th, what the heck is NVH anyways?
