Yeah get some RCA's. If it's to bouncy, sell the Teins, buy some BC's and custom your spring rates with extreme drop kit. They have good ride quality and extreme drop kit should get you low to where you want.

Just get the RCA's or change coils. If you cut the sprring you will have a very bouncy ride... Had cut springs on coils on a civic way back in the day. Thought it was cool at first but after awhile it was annoying.

Sell the Tein's if they are in good condition and get BC's while better coilovers can be had BC are priced the most aggressively before going to a lesser known brand.

I got BC coils on my 2GS and my buddy has them on his 2IS.. Good stuff. We both got them off a vendor here.

The problem is the Super streets don;t allow a low drop without sacrificing shock travel and ride quality - which is probably where you're getting the "bouncing feeling" .

Something with dual-height adjustment would be better for you wanting to slam the car, the BC Racing kit would work as some have stated here.

Hit us up and we can help you get a kit
