Ok so I have searched this forum for a good strut choice, I was looking to see if there was any new choices for our old DSM that wasn't bouncy or harsh. I currently have KYB AGX with HR springs, I hate them. I have had to change them out three times. I've noticed that even new out of the box they wouldn't even be close as a match on a shock Dyno. They both have different resistance. I guess the QC at KYB isn't very good and that's shocking to know since the make shocks for OEM use. I have a 90 GST and want it to ride as close to stock as possible. I have even looked for OEM replacement coil springs and their discontinued. No aftermarket OEM replacements either. The lowering spring puts too much bounce for the struts. I read the Koni somewhat fixes that, will the Koni strut bottom out on a hard bump or bridge transition? I've had Tein and Megan coil overs in my Talon and their bouncy too. Please help. Also what is your personal experience with Bilstien replacement struts with lowering springs and do they work well taking the bounce out? Please only personal experiences or links that maybe useful.
