Default what to do about shocks?

hey guys i have a soarer TT with kyb shocks in the rear and some other kind in the front. Car is bouncy right now.

i want the car to be more firm for not huge amount of money, less than $200 hopefully. Should I opt for used OEM springs/shocks or go for a brand new set of Kyb-GR2's? I don't wanna buy another set to end up with the same result as my current ones.

and anyone know where to get the best price? thanks.

youre not gonna get anything for 200 bucks...period. unless it is stolen.

save up money and then do searching on shock/spring combo and coilover system reviews.

damn so now I got to choose one

tokico blues for 300
tein coilovers for 750
or used stock sc300 for 230

would the tokico's work decent enough with oem springs? If I have to buy springs too then I'm just gonna get the coilovers.

there is so much to choose from. If you get lowering springs, should you get new shocks? I guess that would depend on how low you would go?
