Ok, I have to correct myself. Excuse me for my utter noobness. The ride actually got 10X stiffer with the KYB's. What I referred to as "bounciness" in my opening post was actually harshness in the ride. When i put 17's on my car the ride actually got smoother than with stock wheels. Then i changed the struts and the ride got really rough. I had three different mechanics take my car for a drive and they all said the same thing. What i thought was bounce is just stiffness because of the combination of the 17"'s and the KYB's. They all said that the KYB's are an excellent strut, and the ride is harsher because they are higher pressure struts than stock ones. Either way I'm either going to have to get used to the ride harshness or maybe take out the kyb's and put monroe's in. The handling is excellent though.
